About Judo & Jiu Jitsu

What Are Judo & Jiu Jitsu?

Judo and jiu jitsu are two of the most effective martial arts. Nearly all altercations go to the ground, right? Judo teaches how to take an opponent down using throws and trips, while jiu jitsu teaches positional control and submissions once on the ground. At Shimeru, we practice mostly from the sport perspective, though these techniques are highly effective for self-defense.

What Are The Benefits? 

Training judo and jiu jitsu is an excellent way to get in shape and stay fit, since they’re fun, challenging and keep students engaged. They’re also one of the best ways to develop discipline, focus and self-confidence. Imagine knowing you can protect yourself if necessary, or the comfort of knowing your child will not be bullied when walking away is not an option.
