Judo is a discipline that goes beyond simple athletic abilities and attempts to teach students how to become better citizens through reinforcing values such as self control and self discipline says Mr. D'Arcy Rahming - President of the Bahamas Judo Federation.
The Bahamas Judo Federation is a family oriented organization that develops youths to compete in local and international Judo competitions. Judo is practiced in over 30 locations in the Bahamas ranging from preschools to the College of the Bahamas. Judo is an Olympic sport that is practiced in the Bahamas. It has been said of Judo that it combines the tenacity of wrestling with the skills of a gymnast and the strength of a power lifter. It has a high appeal to young people because it is so personally fulfilling.
The Bahamas Judo Federation sponsors an ongoing program which helps youth in the Fox Hill Community that cannot afford Judo lessons. Its clients are students largely drawn from Sandilands Primary and LW Young school within the Fox Hill community. Its goals are to develop healthy, fit, strong, disciplined, focused youth that can later win Olympic glory for the Bahamas.
