What is Judo?
Judo is the most widely practiced combat sport in the world. It is a martial art started in Japan where judokas must use their hands and feet to bring opponents to the ground and score points or immobilize them.
Kogaion is one of the only places in Northern Virginia where you can earn your Judo AND Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. We teach primarily under the Olympic judo ruleset. Once you understand the details of the sport and can even play yourself, watching one of the most beautiful sports in the world becomes that much more entertaining!
