Mastering the Fundamentals: A Beginner’s Guide to Judo at JCVC

Judo, meaning ‘gentle way, ‘ is more than just a sport; it’s a discipline that cultivates physical fitness, mental fortitude, and respect. At Judo Club Villers Cotterets (JCVC), we believe in providing a supportive and structured environment for beginners to learn and grow. Our beginner’s program focuses on teaching the fundamental techniques, including breakfalls (ukemi), basic throws (nage-waza), and grappling techniques (ne-waza). These skills are taught progressively, ensuring a safe and effective learning experience for all new members.

Understanding the philosophy of judo is just as important as mastering the techniques. We emphasize the principles of ‘maximum efficiency, minimum effort’ and ‘mutual welfare and benefit.’ These principles guide our training and help students develop not only as judokas but also as individuals. Our experienced instructors provide personalized attention, ensuring that each student understands the concepts and techniques before moving on to more advanced material. We also focus on building a strong sense of community among our beginners.

Joining JCVC’s beginner program is the first step towards a rewarding journey in judo. You’ll not only learn self-defense skills but also develop discipline, confidence, and a lifelong passion for the sport. We encourage you to visit our dojo, meet our instructors, and experience the welcoming atmosphere of JCVC. Contact us today to learn more about our beginner’s program and how you can get started!
