Do Yu Kai Chiasso

JUDO was created by Professor Jigoro Kano (1860/1938 - an educated person, a graduate of Japan's first university, director for a twenty-year period from the Tokyo master's school, the first Asian representative on the International Olympic Committee, a great educator).
Having such an origin, JUDO could not limit itself to being a sport.
It is to all intents and purposes (having also been the first martial art to be recognized as an Olympic sport in 1964), yet it is also - and above all - an educational method.
JUDO teaches suffering and commitment to achieve a goal, demands respect for teammates and opponents, and emphasizes the importance of values such as honor, modesty, self-control, sincerity, courage, and education.

At the DYK Chiasso, a sports association founded in 1974 that has been active in our region for more than forty years, we have not lost sight of the primary goal of JUDO.
This goal, however, is acquired by comparing ourselves with others and challenging ourselves. That is why we continue to believe in competitive JUDO and to promote all facets of the discipline.
I invite all interested parties to the dojo at via Cattaneo 10 in Chiasso; two free trial lessons are always given at our center. In the hodgepodge of martial arts being offered today, fortunately, there is still some serious, traditional and constructive stuff. Visit us and try it to believe!
Thank you Jigoro Kano and thank you to everyone who attends our beautiful dojo!
