Judo
is a perfect choice for children. Though it is a martial art, Judo
emphasizes these two principles:
•
Maximum efficiency with minimum effort
• Mutual Welfare and benefit for all
Therefore, though the child learns techniques that can be
utilized for self defense, the main focus is cooperation and reason,
not fighting. Judo teaches children to become comfortable in their growing
bodies and to respect the places they live, work, and train. Judo also
benefits a student's flexibility, physical endurance, self-confidence,
concentration, and discipline.
Our classes are not only geared to the group. We assist each
child with his or her individual needs, taking our students step by step
through the art, and providing the tools necessary to succeed. This is
especially true in our children's program. Our goal is not to push students
from one belt to the next, but to help them achieve the skills and
confidence to earn their rank.
Above all, have FUN!
