Benefits of Judo

1.It teaches you the value of hard work

When you start out you are getting thrown and submitted at will.  But you will start to see that as you put more time into your practice, it takes you longer to lose, and you lose less and less.  And then you put more time in you will eventually win against those that you were unable to beat before.  And by that time, you are now the one throwing and submitting guys in class.  Judo teaches you the value of hard work, because you actually get to see the fruits of your labor every time you spar.  Your progress can be seen; it’s tangible

2.It teaches to fight fears

 The fear of being physically hurt is a strong emotion that holds many people back from many of life’s more enjoyable activities.  Judo does not sugarcoat the fact that they are combative sports pain is part of the game.  And while injuries do happen, precautions are taken to make sure that you are as safe as possible.  The people that stay with judo are eventually able to face their fears of being hurt, by forcing themselves to take the pain and becoming resistant to their fear of pain as a result. 

3.It toughens you physically

    Practicing judo is going to hurt and it is going to be painful .  As far as physical pain goes, judo is one of the roughest sports out there.  The sport places a huge emphasis on safety, but you are going to get thrown to the ground,a lot .  That is just the how it is.  But as you get thrown more often, your body starts to toughen up and absorb the pain a lot better.  Then, it won’t hurt as much.
