Youth Judo - 9 to 12 yrs

Our Youth Judo Class emphasizes safety and respect for others while being fun as well. Beginner judokas will learn to fall safely, as well as master the fundamentals of basic judo (throwing and pinning; there are no kicks or punching) and can eventually earn belt ranks. Just wear long sleeve sweats tops and bottoms.

Every class contains individual attention to technique, group instruction and time for individuals to test themselves in newaza (ground grappling) and tachi-waza (standing).  Class etiquette, safety and appreciation for others is emphasized.

The class is open to kids ages 9 to 12. Students begin with basic safety techniques (falling methods) and progress to throwing and grappling techniques. Students will participate in local and national tournaments and test for advancing belt ranks. This unique class focuses on the competitive aspects of judo while instilling the values of self-confidence, coordination, respect, and discipline.

Gis (uniforms) can be purchased from the our store when the participant decides on a gi.
