About Kudo
Kudo is an official Japanese Cultural Budō sport under the same category as Judo, Aikido and Kendo. Kudo and Daido Juku are worldwide copyrights and all instructors are certified under the Kudo International Federation (K.I.F.).
Recognized by over 10 national Olympic committees with 50+ member countries, Kudo is:
- A safe, scientific modern martial art combining traditional and sports techniques
- A practical combination of Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing
- Founded on the principles of respect, discipline, and self-improvement
Daido Juku is the Honbu (headquarters) for Kudo, founded in 1981 by Takashi Azuma, a former Kyokushin karate champion who developed Kudo as a more comprehensive martial art system.
