Where can i find Judo here in cebu?

i appreciate sir na daghan kag questions. thats a sign nga interesado ka hehe. okay to start with your first question

1. when i started judo i dont have any martial arts background, most of the newbies dont. during classes, the newbies, since there are only few will be taught the basics. i wouldnt say the class is separated, only that the newbies will not be allowed to do drills that advanced players do. so the rest of the night you will be doing the basics sa. i guess that applies to all martial arts

2. female students? hhmm this is kinda fishy. why are you asking if there are any female students? are you looking for a potential girlfriend/wife?(just kidding hehe). Actually there are female players namo. an average of 3 to 4 female judokas every session. sometimes daghan samot na kung padulong vacation. btw may i know your gender?

3. About the belt promotion. yes naa, pero it might take you years to even get a brown belt. that depends on how good you are. if i were you, just try to have fun while learning discipline in judo kay its very tiring kung mag huwat ka. ma abot rana once your dedication is proven

4. Hmm. id say we are focused more on competition. we do have self defense training as well once every week. but its not compulsory that you have to compete everytime there is an upcoming tourney.

5. Judo is a martial arts discipline so i cant guarantee way usik imong oras sa judo

6. sa DOCE PARES? dili lang ko sure ha pero murag naa man to bayad 100 per month, but even so barato ra gyud kaau na im sure maka afford tanan tao ana.

You can visit at any Judo dojos nearest you. UC-MAIN(MWF 7-9pm), USC(TTHS 7:30-10pm), DOCE PARES(TTHS 7-9pm)

if adto ka USC practice just let me know in advance lang. kay the way to the dojo is kinda tricky

Nice answer master cardwell! heheh

Bitaw,

Ranking (belt colors) this is tricky, many of the judo players have been training for a few years yet are still white belt, for most of us this is OK, because belt colors have never been that important,RARE kaau ang promotions, but that doesnt mean you wont get good at judo.

Regarding Focus. when Cardwell said the club is focused more on competition he meant that the drills, the training, etc, are meant to let you get good fast, sparring/randori happens regularly, but not everybody joins competitions, ang mental state lang sa training is meant for competition (example, no traditional KATA instruction, and no spiritual zen OA stuff, just the basics, judo, throws, trips, sweeps, chokes, hold downs and submissions)

Usik sa oras? You meant that when schedule ends you exit? depends, the more you train, the more you like it, the less of an "usik" your time is spent, coz you are gonna love every minute of it.
