Focus

I am a Judo sensei—what I want to pass onto all of my students is a love of Judo, remembering the words that our founder, Dr. Jigoro Kano gave us: Judo's philosophy revolves around two primary principles: "Seiryoku-Zenyo" (精力善用, lit. 'good use of energy') and "Jita-Kyoei" (自他共栄, lit. 'mutual welfare and benefit')
