Sports play an importance role in the all round development of a child.  As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, we understand the importance of incorporating it in our education system.

Aswin Kumar, Gold Medalist

Judo, which means “The Gentle Way”, is a Japanese martial art based upon the ancient techniques of jujutsu developed by Dr Kano Jigoro in 1882.  Judo is a great exercise routine.  It promotes flexibility, develops speed and co-ordination, strengthens the cardiovascular system and promotes balanced muscular development.

We heartily congratulate our young champions for their achievement and wish them success in their future events.
