Here at V-MAT we will train you in the art of Kodokan Judo.

Kodokan Judo ('Judo') comes to us from the fighting system of feudal Japan. Founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo is a refinement of the ancient martial art of Jujutsu. Dr. Kano, President of the University of Education, Tokyo, studied these ancient forms and integrated, what he considered to be, the best of their techniques into what is now the modern sport of Judo.
