Udo / Jujitsu
Udo is a soft style that develops proper falling and throwing techniques without injury by keeping the body flexible, and developing coordination and strength. The strength of your opponent is used against them in both offensive and defensive movements, and the precise placement of your feet is vital. The style’s circular movements teach you how to redirect your opponent’s energy and weight, which enables a smaller defender to throw or defend a larger attacker. Udo also develops your core strength, hand and joint strength, discipline and footwork.

Flexibility
Udo is a style that builds an incredible amount of strength and flexibility in the body. The movements work on the whole body, with an emphasis on rounding the spine and compressing your middle body. This builds a deep flexibility that goes much farther than simply touching your toes. Middle body flexibility allows you to put power into all of your other movements, as well as promotes general spine health and longevity.

Self-Defense
Udo primarily utilizes throws and takedowns for self-defense. This is a powerful tool for self defense that works incredibly well when combined with other styles. Slipping your foot between their legs, or grabbing and twisting your body to throw your opponent to the ground is an unexpected way to quickly pivot a fight in your favor.

Body Control &
Falling Protecting yourself from falling is the type of self-defense you are most likely going to need and use. Proper falling techniques can prevent serious injury after you trip, fall, or slip. The body control developed in Udo not only teaches you how to fall correctly, but how to preserve and control your momentum so you can move your body in many different ways. This body control is invaluable beyond just training, as it will help you maintain a healthy condition at all stages of life.
