At the Kodokan, we believe excellence is achieved through the endless pursuit of perfection. Champions are created first with belief in oneself, the heart to preserve and the willingness to endure hardship and struggle, to ultimately triumph. A champion isn't always synonymous with winning; it is one's mindset that starts and continues on their own personal journey that makes one a champion. Whether it's in the classroom, in the office, on the mats or in the ring or cage.
