Kudo Singapore brings Kūdō, a Japanese hybrid martial art that combines striking, throwing, grappling, joint locks and chokeholds into a dynamic full-contact discipline.
Rooted in Daido Juku, founded by Azuma Takashi in 1981, Kūdō evolved from combat karate by incorporating techniques from Judo and other martial arts. Its distinctive approach allows practitioners to develop skills across multiple ranges of combat rather than specialising solely in striking or grappling.
Training places an emphasis on safety, practicality and well-rounded martial arts development, with protective headgear and gloves forming an important part of full-contact practice. Beyond competition, Kūdō is also practised as a budō discipline, encouraging continuous learning and personal development.
