WELCOME TO SAMURAI JUDO ACADEMY!

To all current judoka, friends, supporters and those who have not yet become addicted to judo, in the spirit of judo we welcome you to the official website of Samurai Judo Academy and hope you enjoy this site as much as we enjoy building it for you!

10 reasons why SJA is simply the best choice for you/your child:

1. Judo is the only martial art that specializes in full contact, freestyle, close-range

    grappling & self-defence skills in standing & on the ground, where you need it most!

2. Samurai Judo Academy is the only martial arts school that teaches self-defense using

    the principal of 'Minimal Necessary Force' - to defeat an opponent with minimal risk

    of permanent injury! Do you really want you child taught to defend themselves by

    kicking or punching?? For adults, this has serious liability consequences.

3. You will train in a fun, family environment with State, National & International

    Champions!

4. You will learn to apply Judo Philosophy ("the gentle way"), both in training & in life! 

5. You will develop total body fitness!

6. You will develop self-confidence & Leadership skills!

7. Judo will develop strength of character!

8. You can compete up to Olympic Level!

9. You are welcome at affiliated judo schools in virtually every country & city in the World!

10. Samuri Judo Academy has lower costs and better value than any other martial art!
