Sports

Beginning Judo

Learn with National champions in this fun, active class for both adults and children. You will not just learn techniques but you will get in great shape by actively using them. Judo is an Olympic event, the world's second most popular sport (behind soccer) and a safe, non-violent art that developed from Ju-jitsu, the martial art used by the Samurai. "Nage-waza" (throws) and "Ne-waza" (mat work) will be learned while "Randori," or free practice will test, and strengthen your skills. You may fly through the air and fall to the ground but you won't be hurt: judo is very effective but very safe. Parents with children are welcome: we do have both moms and dads currently participating. It makes our games of Sumo more fun! Note: Participants will be required to become members of the US Judo Federation (www. usjf.com), which offers insurance and the privilege to take part in other events. The annual fee is $50.   For more information visit www.albanyjudo.org

This class is for ages 7 - adult and meets on M/W.
