Welcome to the Akari Judo Club
Judo, translated as the "gentle way", is a martial art which teaches the use of balance, momentum, and timing to overcome your opponent. "Akari Judo" can mean either "Enlightened Judo" or "Effortless Judo", and those are both ideals that we strive towards, seeking to use the aggressor's own strength against them and prevail with minimum effort.
