This upcoming seminar on Saturday, Feb 16th will be focusing on developing the skills and the insights that the art and science of Judo offers us in everyday street encounters, and not necessarily an sporting event---- even though this seminar would also be beneficial for those who are inclined towards sport competitions as well. Judo is an art of offsetting an opponent's base and balance in which it would create opportunities to throw, sweep, and take down an attacker. An attacker, in a street encounter, would become vulnerable once his or her balance is jeopardized. In fact, once a person's center of gravity is off, almost every line of attack is weakened-----thus creating many opportunities to counter-attack and render the opponent's plans useless! Participants in this seminar will also learn how speed, rhythm, footwork, explosiveness, leverage, coordination, body mechanics, hip placement and many other factors play a role in self-defense situations. A side note: for those who may be thinking or may be worried about being thrown, especially if they have previous injuries, we reassure you, not to be worried about that! You don't have to do moves that may be risky for you. We may be able to also adapt or modify certain moves that would work for you well.  Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at the seminar.
