Judo literally means "the gentle way". We are a recreational club geared towards Olympic sport. In addition to randori and kata, we teach practical self-defense techniques. Mike Muender is our instructor. Sensei Mike is a 3rd degree black belt who studied in Japan. He earned his black belt at the age of 14 at the Kodokan. He is currently studying at the seminary here at Wake Forest. His classes are dynamic and practical. We are happy to have him with us. This is a new program that we have initiated because of the large demand for judo in the area. During each session we continue to hone our skills and learn new techniques. We try to practice randori in every class. Guests are always welcome. Members who wish to compete and obtain rank join the national judo organizations.
