Judo – Vanguard Programs
The Art of Judo: More Than a Martial Art
At Vanguard Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Judo, we believe Judo is much more than throws and holds — it is a lifelong journey of discipline, respect, and self-improvement. Founded in Japan with principles rooted in courtesy and perseverance, Judo strengthens both body and mind while shaping character. Just as importantly, it perfectly complements Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving students the ability, execute takedowns, and develop strong takedown defense. Whether you are a child, a teenager, or an adult, Judo offers lessons that last far beyond the mats.
