The philosophy of Judo
Rolling, crawling, falling, throwing…that’s how a number of student would describe this new class offered in DKU – Judo. However, once you get a hold of the basic techniques and step up to the real battle field, you will realize that Judo is not a fight about strength.
“Sore Made!” as referee Yang announced the ending of the last game, Leiyuan Tian and Jialong Wang became the first place in their corresponding groups. 10 students from the session 2 Judo class participated in this first DKU Judo competition as a part of the curriculum. The competition was organized with a round-robin schedule, in which every contestant gets to compete with every other contestant. “Judo is a highly competitive sport, it not only requires physical ability but also the ability to seize the right moment and make a swift move. You need to learn to distribute your strength, it’s all about efficiency.” Said Jialong.
