Judo

Judo is a dynamic martial art focused on throws, takedowns, pins, and submissions. Known as “the gentle way,” Judo emphasizes using leverage, timing, and technique to control an opponent—making it highly effective for all ages, body types, and experience levels. Whether you want to compete, cross-train for other martial arts, or simply build strength and confidence, our Judo program will help you get there.

At Lake Travis Jiu Jitsu Club, we combine the traditional principles of Judo with modern training methods to give you a complete grappling experience. You’ll learn powerful throws like O-goshi (hip throw) and Seoi-nage (shoulder throw), along with essential groundwork techniques for controlling and submitting your opponent. Classes emphasize proper breakfalls to keep you safe, high-repetition drilling to build muscle memory, and live sparring (randori) to apply your skills in real time.

Judo training offers a wide range of benefits:

• Functional Strength & Conditioning – Build explosive power and full-body control.

• Balance & Coordination – Develop precise body awareness for sport and everyday life.

• Practical Self-Defense – Learn to take control of a situation without relying on strikes.

• Mental Discipline – Train focus, patience, and strategic thinking.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned martial artist looking to expand your game, our Judo program will challenge you, build your skills, and connect you with a community of supportive training partners. Just bring a willingness to learn—we’ll provide the knowledge, the mats, and the guidance to help you succeed.
