About Baltimore Judo Club

What Style do we teach?

    The style of Judo taught at Baltimore Judo Club is known as Kodokan Judo. All of the Judo techniques are laid down by the Kodokan in Tokyo, Japan. The second most popular sport around the world, it is an exceptional form of exercise for the mind, body and spirit. Judo is practiced at Baltimore Judo Club by men and women from 6 to 60 years old. When studying Judo you practice at your own pace depending on your abilities. There are competitions, governed by the United States Judo, Inc. and the United States Judo Federation, held regularly in Maryland. You can compete either in SHIAI (fights) or KATA (practice forms), though you do not have to compete at all. All new-comers are offered a free class to try Judo for themselves. Drop by and check us out. Spectators are welcome.

All of our students who entered for promotion obtained the rank they were working toward. The promoted Judoka are:

    We are very proud of the work our students have done to get where they are and how they performed at this event. Congratulations to all.

    Karen Whilden, a teacher at Baltimore Judo Club, and Diane Jackson, a teacher at Hui-O Judo Club, represented the USA in Havana at the Cuban Olympics. This year was the first year in which Kata, specifically Nage No Kata, was included. Karen and Diane placed first out of four teams. The other Kata teams were all Cuban. Congratulations on a Kata well performed.

A report by Diane Jackson

    Karen Whilden, a teacher at Baltimore Judo Club, and Diane Jackson, a teacher at Hui-O Judo Club, represented the Pan American Judo Union and the USA, their clubs, Maryland, Virginia and Shufu Judo Yudanshakai at the first Kodokan Judo Kata International Tournament held October 25-29, 2007 at the Kodokan in Tokyo, Japan. This tournament included competition in Nage No Kata and Katame No Kata, practice forms which teach competition skills, and Ju No Kata and Kime No Kata, forms which teach self defense. Each Judo union in the world and Japan named 2 to 3 teams for competition in each Kata. The Pan American Judo Union included 4 teams from the USA, 2 teams from Brazil and 1 team from Canada. Diane and Karen Performed Katame No Kata and placed 9th. Japan captured gold and silver in all Kata while Spain's teams took home 3rd in all Kata and Italy placed 4th in all Kata. It was a great achievement to be named to this first-ever history making event and to compete against the best in the world at the Kodokan.

    I would have never believed someone if they told me that I would compete at the Kodokan representing the USA and PJU. I expected the Kodokan would host a top quality tournament, but they did it with unbelievable friendliness, style, and apparent ease. It was also a learning experience. The Kodokan was looking for things in the Kata, especially in style, that we did not do. The teams that performed the best train at the Kodokan every year. What a luxury that would be! The Kodokan held seminars after the tournament that were enlightening. I met Kata players from all over the world and affirmed a universal Judo truth:   Judo players are nice people. While we, the US team, were using our collective Kata knowledge to work on changes after the tournament and 2 players from Spain, who placed 3rd, came into the hallway to work on Kata with us.

    On days when we have a closing of some or all of the classes scheduled at Baltimore Judo Club, an email notice is sent out to all Judo players for whom we have an email address on file. This email alert is sent by 3:00 pm on the day of the closing, unless we have prior knowledge, in which case the alert will be sent as soon as possible. If you want to be on this email list, send an email with your name and the words "Class Closing Alerts" in the subject line or body to Corky.

Dear Friends & Supporters of Judo:

    I am trying to create a list for the purpose of connecting certified Public School teachers who are practicing Judo and/or who have started a Judo Club at their school, whether it is elementary or secondary. Rank is not an issue.

    If anyone knows a teacher who wants to start a program or knows anyone who is doing Judo and not a certified teacher but wants to start a club at a primary or secondary school.

    If anyone at a university or community college would be interested in being part of a program to attract certified public school teachers in order to develop Judo in public schools.

    Please forward your/their name, address, phone, and email to me.

Yours in Judo,

Drew Wickham

What is Judo?

    Judo is an international and olympic sport. Originally Judo was derived from JuJitsu. Jujitsu is a form of control that uses punches, kicks, blocks, wrist-locks, leg-locks, throws, pins, arm-locks and strangles. As a fighting form it is very effective, but as a sport or a form of physical education it had one problem. A lot of practice partners were damaged during the learning process. Jigaro Kano studied the various schools of Jujitsu, and wanted to create a form of exercise that would help to strengthen mind and body like Jujitsu but would also be surviveable. Judo is the result. It involves the practice of throws, pins, strangles and arm-locks. Much of the more dangerous forms used in Jujitsu are still in Judo but only in Kata form where they can be practiced in a controlled manner. Beside the physical practice of techniques, Judo also encompasses moral teachings and fostering the belief that Judo should be used only for defense and for the mutual welfare and benefit of the community.

The most complete book written about Judo is still Kodokan Judo, written by Jigoro Kano. Kodokan Judo includes a brief history and etiquette as well as the throws, pins, armlocks, strangles and counters for these techniques and it contains descriptions of the seven Kata of the Kodokan. This book is available from www.amazon.com by clicking on the logo to the right.
