Description

Obukan Judo Dojo celebrates 100 years in Portland.

On the tatami mats of Northeast Portland, Obukan Judo students first learn to fall. They protect their necks, slap the mat, steady their breathing and stand again. The practice is the heart of judo, a discipline built around the central idea of not meeting force with force but achieving maximum efficiency with minimal effort. The goal is to outsmart your opponent by using the gentle way.
