Everyone has their reasons as to why they start Judo.

 

Some restart after doing it as a child, some for fitness and some for the social side.

 

Judo has as many benefits for an adult as it does children. 

 

Fitness: One of only a handful of sports where you use nearly every muscle in your body.

 

Self Defense: Giving you the confidence you need to feel safe.

 

Social: Meeting new people with the same interests.

 

Cross Training: Great for sports like Rugby, BJJ & MMA and all other contact sports

 

Whatever the reason is, the main thing is you want to be there.

 

Judo translates into 'gentle way'.

 

Realistically, Judo is far from gentle. As well as throwing and holding your opponent, adult Judo introduces armlocks, strangles and chokes.
