At Newport Judo School we are about Good Healthy Fun! As well as the serious job of learning judo. We spend a lot of time not just working on Throwing and Grappling but also on Games. These are usually Judo Specific Games. But that doesn't mean that they are not a lot of fun.
Our purpose is to develop the whole person. So we Spend time talking about personal development. Judo is a thinking persons sport and that means not just talking about tactics but also about our attitude to each other and our opponents. I loved the advertisement for the 2000 Olympics that showed a seen of Judo players approaching each other. The slogan was Your are my Opponent not my enemy. That to me epitomizes the Spirit of Judo. That is what we try to Promote at Moonee Valley YMCA Judo.
We teach principles from the Protective Behaviors Program. This along with Judo principals provides the tools to avoid conflict as well as confidence and ability to control situations or defend if necessary.
At Newport Judo we encourage, physical, Spiritual and mental growth.
