Discover how Judo can improve your company.

Judo means “the way of flexibility,” and it was originally conceived by its founder, Jigoro Kano, as an innovative response to the profound cultural changes in Japanese society at the end of the 19th century. Similarly, companies and their employees must constantly adapt to fluctuations and changes in their environment. Therefore, applying judo to the business context through sessions designed for non-judokas helps address these challenges with a more positive outlook.

Whatever the focus of the sessions—change management, negotiation, conflict resolution, innovation—there is a common effect: improved team cohesion. The act of sharing a space and values during confrontations, the physical contact, and the individual improvement shared with the collective all contribute to this.

Absolutely. Sessions have been conducted across various sectors and levels of responsibility, including interdepartmental teams and corporate groups, with similar results. It creates a dynamic that allows the group to interact quickly and naturally.

Organizations must recognize that competitiveness, improvement, and ultimately success depend on the training, motivation, and engagement of people in the project. They should place individuals at the center of their activities.

It’s important to draw inspiration from other sectors, businesses, and activities. Innovation and progress require spaces that encourage reflection and maximize diversity of thought. Sports serve as a good catalyst for attitudes and emotions, and are increasingly being used as a tool for improving organizations.
