Benefits
Judo promotes social interaction, strengthens mindfulness, develops balance, improves strength, and encourages coordination.
The philosophy of judo is very peculiar, as it teaches its practitioners to fall and knock down their opponents. In a metaphorical sense, it teaches that in life sometimes you fall down and other times you fall down, but you always have to be alert and learn to get up.
