Judo Club Lvis

Judo Club Lvis is a well-established martial arts club located in Levis, Au. The club offers a unique opportunity for individuals of all ages to learn and practice the art of Judo. With a strong focus on tradition and technique, Judo Club Lvis provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for students to develop their skills and grow as martial artists.

Judo, which translates to “gentle way” in Japanese, was founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882. It has since evolved into both an art and a competitive sport, with its inclusion in the Olympic Games in 1964 in Tokyo. Practised on tatami mats in a dojo, Judo is a martial art that emphasizes defence techniques and throws, without the use of punches or kicks. The ultimate goal of a judoka is to either throw their opponent onto their back, immobilize them on the ground, or submit them with advanced techniques.

Judo Club Lvis is known for its commitment to the development of its members, particularly children. The club provides a supportive and engaging environment where children can learn valuable skills such as motor coordination, flexibility, balance, and agility. Through Judo, children are able to channel their energy more effectively, gain confidence, and build character.

The club follows a structured belt system to recognize the progress of its members. Beginners start with a white belt and then progress through different coloured belts including yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and eventually black. Achieving a black belt (Shodan) is a significant milestone, marking the beginning of a judoka's journey towards higher dan levels. The club also emphasizes the importance of the code of ethics in Judo, which includes values such as politeness, courage, sincerity, honour, modesty, and respect.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals of Judo or an experienced practitioner seeking to further your skills, Judo Club Lvis welcomes individuals of all levels. Join us and discover the art of Judo in a supportive and inclusive community where tradition and technique are celebrated.
