City
College of San Francisco Judo Club
Judo is an art and a sport, a means of defense, and equally,
a means of offense. Like Jujitsu, its forerunner, Judo
is a method of turning an opponent's strength against himself,
thus defeating him in the most efficient manner. One will
learn to employ specialized principles of movements, balance
and leverage to (1) throw an opponent to the mat; (2) hold an
opponent on the mat; (3) apply a submission/choking technique,
and (4) apply submission hold only on an opponents elbow joint.
The underlying concept of Judo is that an advantage can be most
effectively obtained by giving way to an attacking force.
An opponent's own movements are utilized to obtain an unbalanced
position from which the other person may execute a successful
technique.
Classes

College of San Francisco Invitational Judo Tournament.
