A playful introduction to judo for children aged 5 to 7, held on Monday afternoons at Judoklubben Mitanis premises. Training is built around play, with a strong focus on energy and intensity, so the children have fun while learning to move and fall safely.
Each session opens with a warm-up, followed by falling exercises, holding techniques, throws and games. Technique work comes straight after the warm-up, when the children are at their most receptive. Later there is a gentle introduction to wrestling and friendly contests, alone or in small groups.
Sessions begin and end with a bow to the coach, which teaches respect. The coach also shares common messages for the group, which are often aimed at parents too.
