Can girls participate in Judo?

Question

there is a japanese school close to my house and they have judo classes...And i'm really intersted in joining but can girls play?

Answer 1

yes 100% just go for it!!! good luck

Answer 2

I've never come across a dojo where girls aren't welcome.

Answer 3

Yes, I've known many female judoka.  I suppose there may be a teacher out there who won't teach a girl, but that has to be few and far between.

Answer 4

Yes.  According to many statistics, as many as one in three females will be subjected to an assault, mugging or rape in her lifetime!  Judo training will give females the physical strength, mental toughness and self-defense tools to better handle an assault. Judo will also help females develop assertiveness and confidence to face the day to day hurdles in today's society.
