As they follow the eight core values of this Japanese martial art, Judokas strive toward bravery and sportsmanship. Practitioners know winning involves more than simply using their own strength. They must learn to leverage their opponents’ might to their own favor. Focusing on throws and holds, Judokas work to build their technique, strategy, and physical stamina so they perform at their best on competition day. When we protect Judokas, we keep this sport safe and healthy for all.
