Recommended textbook: "Competitive Judo" by Ron Angus. This book explains the intricacies involved in gripping, throwing, pinning, submitting, counter-attacking, and strategizing your way to win, and covers the most effective competition moves in great detail, maximizing your abilities for victory.
The sport of Judo, a form of wrestling incorporating submissions, was created in 1882 by Jigoro Kano in Japan. It specializes in throws, submissions and takedowns from the clinch and on pins, chokes and elbow locks on the ground. Its 50-50 emphasis on standing and ground grappling make it a leading choice for self-defence and mixed martial arts due to its emphasis on positional control and its inclusion of submission moves. It is also of course a brutally effective hand to hand combat and self-defence training system. Judo is an Olympic sport and is extremely popular worldwide. It has been made famous in MMA through fighters like (to name only a very few) UFC World Champion Carlos Newton, Pride World Champion Fedor Emilianenko (widely held to be the world's best MMA fighter,) 'Minotauro' Nogueira, Dong-Hyun Kim, Hector Lombard and Karo Parisyan and through renowned MMA coaches such as Dave Camarillo. A great many of the world's top BJJ competitors train heavily in judo; twice a week is the standard recommendation for winning at high level BJJ. Besides teaching killer throws, pins and submissions, judo develops superb balance, aggression, conditioning and body control for fighting. Kakure trains in judo equally for sport, for health, for self-defence and for mixed martial arts. We believe this is the most effective and enjoyable vision for judo and we hold to it.

Our Club's Submission Fighting Focus, when fighting on the ground: In judo tournaments, ground fighting is done until a pin is established for 25 seconds or there is a tapout from a submission. At Kakure we do not stop at pins, but keep fighting until there is a tapout, similar to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, but without counting points. It keeps the game moving along for club training and is good preparation for tournaments. Pins, however, are a key part of victory on the ground in judo, submission grappling and also in MMA and real fighting, where you can strike a pinned antagonist. What is Judo?Judo is an effective form of self-defence made up of two parts: wrestling on your feet and submission grappling on the ground. It is equally a form of healthy exercise for mind and body.
Judo is the first modern martial art, founded in 1882 at the Kodokan institute in Tokyo, Japan by Jigoro Kano, to replace sword fighting as the primary martial art of Japan. Sword fighting had become obsolete since the wearing of swords was banned six years earlier, in 1876. It is a blending of Western Wrestling with Japanese Jiu-jitsu. Its theory is that actually fighting with partners (called RANDORI) trains you for real fighting more than doing pre-arranged training sequences.
The purpose of Judo is to learn to defeat opponents through cunning and cleverness, using civilized principles of leverage and positioning to win rather than through brute, barbaric force. This skill is developed through learning breakfalls, 2 stances, combative stepping, 40 throws and 29 grappling techniques, including pins, joint locks and chokes, and then figuring out how to apply them and others you think up, while fighting with various partners in class. This fighting is called randori. Experimentation and discovery for yourself are at the heart of Judo.
There are two kinds of randori: standing, called tachi-waza (or informally just "randori"), and ground, called newaza. In standing randori the objective is to throw your opponent onto his or her back. In newaza randori, which starts on the knees, the objective is to pin your opponent for 25 seconds with a recognized pin that is free of your opponent's legs, or submit your opponent with a recognized choke or elbow lock, without standing up.
Thus, Judo is a very simple thing in essence, but of course the potential strategies and manners of outwitting one another are endless, making Judo a fascinating and engaging activity for a great many people.
Judo is an Olympic sport and an excellent method of self-defence.
Judo involves a lot of gripping, and so when faced with an opponent who is trying to hit the judoka, he or she can easily take hold of that person's striking arm(s), leg(s) or body and retaliate.
