Tulsa Judo Club
The Tulsa Judo Club is a 501(c)(3) non profit educational institution located in Tulsa, Oklahoma that is devoted to teaching the martial art and Olympic sport of Judo
Judo was derived from the ancient Ju Jitsu by Professor Jigoro Kano in Japan during the late 19th century and developed as an integral part of education. Judo has been part of the Olympics since 1964. It is the most widely practiced martial art in the world.
Competition and trophys are great but only as they contribute to the fundamental goal of Judo set out by Dr. Kano: to develop the human character through the training and discipline of Judo
Judo is neither MMA nor Karate. Although kicking, punching and defense against weapons is practiced in the Self Defense program (Seniors only), these potentially dangerous techniques are not used by kids nor in Shiai competition.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, Judo is the safest contact sport for children under age 13.
Training is open to anyone 5 years or older for competitive Judo. Adults 18 years or older may study self defense Judo. See: Getting Started.
