Training Philosophy

The words “Modern Training, Traditional Values” reflect our vision and encompass the judo principles of “mutual welfare and benefit” and “maximum efficiency.” Orange County Judo Training Center believes that while training methods can always be improved upon, the traditional values that judo training develops are constant. Our approach to training is to continually educate ourselves about the latest developments in training and instruction, and employ those developments when they are consistent with the values that have been passed down to us from our heritage in the martial arts.

Kodokan Judo

The sport of Judo originated in Japan in 1882 when its founder, Dr. Jigoro Kano, an educator and statesman, decided to transform the ancient martial art of Ju-jutsu into a modern sport of Judo. An Olympic sport since 1964, judo is well known for its spectacular throwing and lightning fast grappling techniques and submission holds.
