Judo is an Olympic sport,
developed from the ancient Japanese martial art of Jujiutsu. The
techniques of judo consist of throwing, grappling, strangling,
and joint locking. The techniques of judo may also be used for
self-defense. Judo became an Olympic sport in 1964 at the Tokyo
Summer Olympic Games.
The Wilmington Judo Club is dedicated to the furtherance of the sport. The club meets at the American Karate Studio in the Branmar Plaza in Wilmington, Delaware on Thursday from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
For more information please contact the Studio (302) 529-7800 or email me.
