PARITY MARTIAL ARTS AND WELLNESS

Judo

Judo is a Japanese martial art that focuses on throws, pins, and submissions, combining physical skill with mental discipline and sportsmanship. Created in 1882 by Jigoro Kano, it was designed as both a safe and effective system of self-defence and a form of physical education, built on the principles of maximum efficiency and mutual benefit.

In Judo, points are earned through well-executed throws, controlled holds, and submissions. The goal is to throw your opponent to the ground with force and control, or to hold them securely for a set period of time.

At Parity, our Judo classes are taught by Lance - a highly experienced and qualified instructor - who combines technical expertise with a welcoming, supportive approach. Classes are designed to be challenging yet enjoyable, helping students improve their technique, fitness, and confidence while fostering respect and perseverance.

Whether you’re completely new to Judo or an experienced Judoka, our structured and encouraging environment will help you develop your skills and reach your full potential.
