Judo practitioners

Judo practitioners and Judo instructors should learn Judo therapy. Many Judo practitioners in Japan go on to become Judo therapists as their next career.
Many Judo therapy techniques come from Judo, making them very familiar and easy to learn for Judo practitioners.

The art of Sekkotsu

The manual therapy used in Judo therapy is called "Sekkotsu" or "Hone-tsugi."

It means "reattaching bones."

Judo therapists use this traditional manual therapy to treat injuries such as fractures that would normally require surgery.

This manual therapy is applied to injuries of various parts of the body, not just bones, but also joints, ligaments, and tendons.

 

You can learn it only here.

Judo practitioners around the world are learning from us!

learning judo therapy

There are only two options to learn Judo therapy: study at university for more than 3 years in Japan, or take our online classes.

That's why Judo practitioners around the world are learning from us.

You can't be a true Judo practitioner just by injuring your opponent.

 

Judo practitioners who can heal injuries are the true Judoka.

This is the next step for Judokas

According to the philosophy of Judo, Judoka (Judo practitioner) who only knows Sappo (the art of defeating an opponent) cannot be called a true Judoka.

To achieve mastery, one must also learn Kappo (the art of healing an opponent).

As a Judoka or a Judo instructor, learning Judo Therapy is not just an option—it is your responsibility to care for injured students and fellow practitioners.

Becoming skilled in Judo Therapy is the natural next step for anyone who wishes to become a "true Judoka", one who embodies the principles of care, respect, and resilience.

Messages from our students

Gabriel Santos

Jiu-Jitsu instructor

I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Before I learned Judo therapy, I only thought about defeating others, but now that I have learned Judo therapy, I am able to heal people who have been injured in Jiu-Jitsu.

Currently, I have established a Judo therapy clinic in my Jiu-Jitsu classroom, where we treat not only athletes who have been injured during competitions, but also those suffering from chronic pain.

At first I wasn't sure if I could learn Judo therapy using only a computer, but the classes were easy to understand even for amateurs so I was able to learn well.

 

Thank you Kumazawa sensei!

Rose Smith

Orthopedist

I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in chronic low back pain. As you know, treating chronic back pain is very difficult. Although various treatments have been established, it is still very difficult to cure.

To find that answer, I studied the Kumazawa method of Judo therapy here. Learning from him was such a wonderful experience. Judo therapy is not only traditional medicine, but also a very innovative treatment method.

The great thing about Judo therapy is that even a person with limited physical strength like myself can do it. Physical therapy and massage to cure back pain require a lot of physical strength, but Judo therapy's technique can be performed with a small amount of force, so you won't get tired.

It is a must-learn treatment for medical professionals who specialize in chronic pain.
