JUNOMICHI

​

The practice of Junomichi involves various techniques that draw from the traditional katas of Judo. These techniques are designed to:

• Encourage fluidity and natural movement.

• Develop an understanding of the body’s mechanics.

• Enhance mental focus and clarity.

• Promote physical and mental well-being.

While practitioners of Junomichi may become physically fitter, this is considered a beneficial side effect rather than the primary goal. The essence of Junomichi lies in the inner journey of self-discovery and improvement. Friendship, mutual respect, and continuous learning are vital components of this practice.

Junomichi is inclusive, welcoming individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Dr. Kano himself was not an athlete, and his techniques do not require brute strength or exceptional physical prowess. Anyone can start practicing Junomichi at any stage of life, and the journey is tailored to individual capabilities and growth.
