Welcome to North Jersey Judo specializing in Martial Arts and Fitness

What is Judo?

Judo is a grappling martial art similar to jiu-jitsu, but does NOT involve punching or kicking.  Judo places emphasis on throws, pins, and submission holds such as strangles (+13 yrs only) and arm locks (+17 years only).  From a standing position involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw you or opponents onto their backs.  On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin opponents down to the ground, control them and apply various choke holds or joint locks until submission.

Description of class straight from our Coaches
Ken Carmichael & Charlie Cunningham

The North Jersey Judo wrestling class will provide the basics of wrestling instruction with a focus on maximizing scoring opportunities by leveraging body positioning, level changes, and sound technique to help wrestlers of all levels reach their potential. 

In addition to the traditional wrestling techniques, such as single and double leg takedowns, wrestlers will receive an overview of Judo concepts such as kuzushi (breaking balance) and Judo techniques such as hip throws, arm throws, headlocks, sweeps, and trips. 

Wrestlers will expand their repertoire with not just the basic understanding of how these techniques work, but will also gain the knowledge of how to counter these techniques.  This class is intended for all levels of wrestlers ages 8 and up and beginners are of course welcome.   Class size is limited.

When: Every Saturday 11am to 12noon from August until wrestling season starts.
