Note from coach: All competitors did very well this fall on the Judo tournament scene. Next up will be the North Eastern Judo Championship held in Paterson, NJ in December. The sport of Judo has been around since the late 1800’s and an Olympic Sport since 1964 Summer Games. Judo unlike any other sport is unique in instilling: unshakable confidence, self esteem, and the ability to focus. Judo also develops a level of body awareness and coordination that makes every participant a stronger, healthier and better all-around individual. Anyone practicing Judo benefits from greater academic achievement, self-respect, increased strength, fitness, in both mind and body. Look out for North Jersey Judo to end the season strong and build for the 2010 Judo Season.
