A Winner's Creed If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't If you'd like to win, but think you can't; It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost For out in the world we find success begins with a person's faith; It's all in the state of mind Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster hand; They go to the one who trusts in God and always thinks "I can" Author Unknown |

Why Judo?Judo is a system of self defense, a physical
and mental discipline, and an Olympic Sport. Judo was founded
in 1882, in Japan, by Professor Jigoro Kano, who envisioned
it as a way of becoming both physically and mentally fit through
disciplined training. It was designed so that it can be practiced
by all ages, both male and female. Through Judo you can open
up your mind and learn to focus on the task at hand. Judo will
teach you both physical and mental discipline. It is an excellent
activity to increase physical fitness, self-esteem, self-defense,
and mental awareness. |
Dr. Jigoro Kano, Shidan |

What it Takes"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." President Roosevelt
