Benefits of Judo for Law Enforcement, Emergency Response & Military Members
Contributed by Deputy Sheriff James Kelly, Yonkyu
Judo offers immediately noticeable benefits, like physical fitness. There are not many training activities like fighting or controlling someone that can be substituted for the real thing. Judo gives us the opportunity to train in a safe manner that allows the student to realistically apply technique with a non-compliant training partner. This type of training builds spiritual and physical toughness.
Another component of Judo training that is acquired over time is situational awareness. Being aware of yourself and others on the mat and learning to observe the non-verbal cues that your training partner gives during exercises like randori impart a sense of awareness and alertness that you can take with you of the mat, whatever situation life throws at you.
