Judo vs. Wirral Shotokan Karate

Judo (gentle way) was created by Jigoro Kano to be effective in shaping the character of the individual.

Judo is an excellent combatant martial art where the primary objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilise or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Judoka are excellent grapplers and deadly on the floor.

Where Judoka tend to lack discipline is in striking techniques. For this reason, fighters who train in Judo tend to cross train with a striking martial art such as Karate, Kick Boxing or Taekwondo. The advanced classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Wirral Shotokan include many judo techniques including throwing, grappling and submissions. The idea of including these techniques is to ensure that we are as dangerous in close quarters fighting as we are at our striking.
