In this article, we’ll give you some reasons why you should start judo. Here are some reasons to become a judoka: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Judo values and culture<\/h2>\n\n

Unlike most sports, judo has a moral code<\/a> consisting of 8 values: politeness, courage, sincerity, honor, modesty, respect, self-control and friendship. Judo also has complementary values, such as the best use of energy, mutual aid and mutual prosperity. <\/p>\n\n

With his values, a judoka must have respect for his coach and opponents, as these are the people who will help him grow and progress. A judoka’s commitment is demonstrated at every training session. A top-level judoka dedicates part of his life to judo and physical preparation. To succeed in judo, you need a lot of personal commitment.<\/p>\n\n

When you start judo, you discover a new culture: Japanese culture<\/a>. Indeed, judokas are immersed in Japanese culture during sessions, particularly through the names of techniques. Over time, judokas become increasingly interested in Japan, and dream of training at the Kodokan<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Physical and mental development<\/h2>\n\n

Judo allows you to develop physically. It’s not just another discipline. It’s a martial art that develops fundamental motor skills. Judo enriches qualities such as flexibility, speed, anticipation, power and coordination. Psychomotor experts use judo as a therapy<\/a> to enhance a person’s motor skills. Judo is a great way to channel energy. <\/p>\n\n

It also helps you develop mentally. Judo is about surpassing your own limits. Each belt describes a stage in a judoka’s life. When learning a technique, you practice it until you’ve mastered it perfectly. It shows determination to achieve the goals we set ourselves. The fall helps to strengthen us. Little by little, we learn to fall, to accept the fall and to get up again.<\/p>\n
