Kano
Sensei modernized the ancient martial art of Jujitsu by in the 1900's. A typical
class may include warm ups followed by practicing a few specific applications against certain
standard grabs used in competition. Competitive practice often follows where one wins
either by throwing someone forcefully to the ground or going down to the ground with them and
causing them to submit by choking or locking an arm. While katas do exist in Judo, the
practice is not as extensive, and weapons forms are not involved. Actual self defense
techniques are only applied against grappling attacks, but transitioning Judo techniques to be
effective against strikes is straight forward. Judo emphasizes the use of destructive
technique first followed by learning to control an attacker. Exercise is
aerobic.
In Westchester County, Judo is available Scarsdale & New Rochelle, but
perhaps less so in White Plains & Yonkers. In Westchester Judo is taught in White Plains
as part of Jujitsu.
