Judo, translated as the gentle way, was derived from the ancient
techniques of Jujitsu which developed along similar paths in Japan and
Korea. Today's Judo is based on non-injurious form Jujitsu, called
Kodokan Judo which developed under Dr. Jigaro Kano in 1882, This style
emphasizes throwing, grappling, choking, and joint-locking techniques.
The basic philosophy of Judo is maximum efficiency with minimum effort
and mutual welfare and benefit. The ISU Judo Club hosts an annual Judo
tournament and the Judo championships for the Iowa Games. Though small
in number, Iowa State University Judo, under Grand Master Pak's instruction,
has produced several nationally and internationally ranked competitors.
The ISU Judo Club is funded by GSB.

ISU Hapkido Club
HapKiDo translates as "The Way of Coordinated Power." HapKiDo is one of
the best martial art forms for self-defense. It is so by design, there
are no competitions nor are there forms, HapKiDo is all self-defense
all the time. HapKiDo not only teaches physical self-defense
techniques; some of HapKiDo's most beneficial aspects are
psychological. While studying HapKiDo, the practitioner develops
self-confidence and a sense of self-worth.
As for technique, the ISU HapKiDo style emphasizes joint locking,
throwing, choking, and hold downs. Defense is practiced against all
types of attacks: grabbing, pushing, punching, kicking, pinning against
a wall, ground attacks, etc. After ample study, the HapKiDo
practitioner is well prepared both physically and mentally to defend
themselves. The essence of this style is to gain advantage through
technique to avoid using strength against strength. This makes HapKiDo
quite useful for smaller people, as they are not required to meet the
full force of an attacker head on.
The ISU Hapkido Club is funded by GSB.
