A modern Martial Art and combat sport, Judo was created in Tokyo, Japan, in 1882 by Professor Jigoro Kano.

After becoming a master of various Jujutsu styles, Jigoro Kano began developing his very own kind of combat sport, based at the time on modern principles.

He founded the Kodokan Judo Institute in 1882, the world centre of Judo since it is still a prestigious school.

Although initially based on Jujutsu, Judo has developed into a distinct style of Martial Arts and combat sports. The word means gentle or yielding way, which reflects one of its main principles.

Professor Kano emphasized the educational and self-development value of offence and defence training in such a way that it would improve people's lives.

It was to be a sport everyone could participate in and benefit from. For one, a victory in Judo should be injury and pain-free for the loser.

The main difference between Jutsu and Judo shines through in the sport's name. Jutsu means art; by changing the last syllable to do, Professor Kano altered the word to way.

This implies a more philosophical approach. An essential part of Judo is a person's mental and psychological health, in addition to, of course, physical well-being.

While it is an Olympic Sport, Judo is not only a combat sport. It is also a popular fitness program, an art, a social activity and a way of life, just like Professional Kano intended it to be.

As in most Sports, it is essential to warm up properly before practising Judo.

Stretching is essential. While it is a fair and non-violent sport, hitting and kicking are not allowed; for example, practitioners may be thrown on the ground or have their limbs locked in awkward positions. 

Injuries often occur when defenders, instead of falling on / their backs ( which means they lose the fight ), land on their shoulders. 

Elbow dislocations are due to lousy defence when the defender leans with a bent arm.

If you have participated in Judo before and may have had an injury or accident while doing so, you must declare this when purchasing a policy.

We have several providers who can offer travel insurance, including Judo if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
