The section on the origins and principles of Judo is particularly informative; it includes essays from Dr. Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. After reading the tournament information, you could walk straight into a Judo Shiai and know exactly what to do. There is something here for everyone, from the mildly interested to the dedicated."

Some user comments about the Judo Information Site:

From: Miller, Chip E

Comments: I have referrred to this site for ages. I am 17 and have just moved to PA. I came from India and was a National Bronze medallist there. I dont want to see 12 years of judo go to waste. So, I have decided to try to take up classes in judo at the local community college. About this site....It was always my favorite. But the addition of the animated drawings and the the pictures and films will greatly affect my view of judo. This is one heck of an amazing site.

From: Niceville, FL
Comments: This is by far the best page I have ever seen. Being only a white belt in Judo, but out of it for a year, I do not have a great amount of experence with many of the upper belt techniques. This page allows me to be able to read, and see how some of the moves are done. The pictures are very clear and the animation is the best I have seen. I am truly in awe of this page. You have spent a great amount of time building it, and it shows. I will be sure to book mark it and come back daily.

Our greatest glory consists not in never failing,
but in rising every time we fall.
