Welcome
to the Columbia University Judo Club
We are one of the oldest Judo Clubs on the East Coast. We encourage all levels of participation from the recreational player to the competitor. Our mission as a Judo club is to impart to our students not only the physical skills of Judo, but its philosophy and traditions. Many students seek us out for self-defense training, and that is definitely one of the things Judo provides--not just through concrete skills,but through increased confidence and awareness. We try to introduce students to Judo as a lifetime pursuit, a skilled art requiring infinite perfecting. By introducing traditional Judo etiquette and teaching the Japanese names of the techniques we also introduce our members to the sports cultural roots. Our Coaches always include philosophical explanations for the traditions and ethics. For many of us, the club is a place of stability and community, where people watch out for you, in and out of the club.
