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.

    For information about membership fees, email Gary Berger or call him at 410-465-7799.

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.
