JUDO
Kawashi, as it is known in Japan, is the precursor to many modern arts. A comprehensive system involving not only throws and takedowns, but also striking, submissions & weaponry. Dating back to the age of samurais and still utilised by many modern combat athletes and military personnel, this art truly has it all.
What is Judo
So what is Judo? Judo is a modern art that was developed in the late 1800's to appropriate Jujitsu for modern scenarios. Judo can be viewed as an art akin to MMA, where you can expect to learn techniques to fight from all positions. Kawashi Judo differs slightly from Olympic Judo, as it still contains strikes, takedowns, throws and submissions. Usage and defence against weapons is also practiced in Judo, however weaponry used in Judo is more modern, including knives, batons and pistols. Kawashi Judo still contains all of the throws and techniques used in modern Olympic Judo, however, Olympic Judo is more restrictive for the purpose of sport.
