Judo Information

Judo was introduced in 1882 by Jigoro Kano in Tokyo. It is an Olympic sport based on the self-defence techniques of ju-jitsu, including throwing, pinning, armlocks and chokeholds. These techniques have been adapted so that they are safe to use without competitors having to "pull their punches."

The Iowa State University Judo Club trains two or three times a week in 202E Forker Building (click for map). Fall schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:45pm for 6pm, starting August 28. Beginners are always welcome. For further information, visit the Post Office.
