JUDO for CHILDREN UNDER the AGE of 7 Introduction U7 JUUDODO FFOROR CCHILDRENHILDREN UUNDERNDER TTHEHE AAGEGE OOFF 7 JUDO CANADA Active Start - U7 JUDO FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 7 Introduction Active Start childhood development is a complex journey and this should be kept in mind when helping children achieve their potential in Judo programs. This requires top-quality programming based on knowledge of sports science and other complementary skills. This manual is designed to help all of us to provide better service to children en- trusted to us by their parents. All concepts presented here are con- sistent with the approved Long Term Development Model (later in this manual referred as the LTDM) The U7 JUDO program is oriented towards beginner judokas four to six years of age. For children this young, judo exercises are used as tools in development of athletic abilities. Learning judo techniques can not be the priority of the program. Examples of Judo techniques and the way to employ them for this age group are described in more detail later in this manu- al. In general, only judo techniques listed for white and yellow belt levels in the Judo Canada kyu syllabus are used in pro- grams for this age group, and some modifi cations to respect the guiding principles and sport sport development goals for children this young. Mastering of judo-specifi c techniques is not a key priority of this program, but may be a welcome by-product. 2 The Guiding Principles of this Th AActivee cGGuidingtiuvidei nStartSgt aPPrinciplesrrtin -c UU7ipl7es program based on the Judo Canada ooffIIntro- ntrtthishoi-s LTDM: U7 JUDO pro- gram is oriented pprogramrogram bbasedased onon o Childrens’ body proportions are very different from towards begin- adults, so Judo-specifi c skills must be adopted to ner judokas agedtthe he JJudoudo accommodate these differences – no child should be ex four to six years CCanadaanada pected to execute a technique in a fashion similar to adults.of age.

To reiterate, the basic underlying principle for all sporting activi- ties targeting this age group is to deliver a program that is fun and fundamentally respects educational standards and develop- mental guidelines. To accomplish this goal we allow for a relaxed framework and employ creativity for the children involved. Furthermore, the environment of the dojo should prepare children to interact socially and at the same time allow them to learn the etiquette of judo. 3 U7 – General objectives as per the Judo Canada’s LTDM Athletic Aspects of a Program. o Develop fundamental movement skills (running, jumping, throwing, swimming, etc.). o Introduce ABC’S of Athleticism (agility, balance, coordination, speed). o Develop suppleness (fl exibility). o Coordination, agility and balance to be accomplished through general exercises and a variety of judo-related games. o Short duration speed/agility games to be incorporated. o Short duration aerobic efforts - allow for a spontaneous application of effort by the child – no structured time frames for exercises. o Flexibility exercises to be incorporated in games that also emphasize coordination and agility. When working with this age group we are primarily responsible for enhancing children’s capacity to perform fundamental movement skills. We practice these skills in the dojo and we encourage parents to enroll children in programs where they can learn those skills that can not be practiced in the dojo – i.e. swimming or skating. 4 The Basic Fundamentals are 2.

This principle is particularly important for sports where the individual’s peak performance happens over the age of 20 years as is the case in judo. An early emphasis on training the wrong athletic abilities lead to early burn out and retirement from sport. Thus in judo programs for children under 7 we concentrate our effort on developing agility, balance, coordination and, to a cer- tain extend, speed. Our program can not neglect fl exibility, which is trainable at any age. However, at this early development stage, it is very easily enhanced. It may appear that other athletic abilities (strength, endurance, power, etc.) improve with training as well, but it occurs mostly as a result of improved co- ordination, thus better quality of movement. Furthermore, a natural develop- ment and maturation results in progressive development of all abilities, and our role is to allow it to happen rather than to manipulate it. Thus, in accordance with the LTDM while working with the judoka under 7 years old, training that is targeted to the development of strength, long and short term endurance and power is not appropriate. 6 Flexibility can be developed at any Short duration speed bursts age However, it is a very mould- happen in a very natural way able ability when working with chil- when children are playing dren of this age. Thus, emphasis games. However, to ensure on fl exibility should be employed that all children are involved when playing games, practicing working to their capacity judo skills in ne waza, etc. Also a in a somewhat controlled static stretching training should be environment, employ relays in your session. With employed in the closing segments this training form it is relatively easy to control the of the session. time of “speed” development (burst no longer than 5 to 8 seconds) and the task itself can target agility, coordination, fl exibility, etc. Working on coordination and agility, fl exibility and balance should start as early as possible. When playing games or learning a skill, children should be allowed to move as naturally as possible in order to learn the overall concept of motion. Corrections should be made only in case when movements are unsafe or drastically biomechanically incorrect. Children are great role players and they mimic well so a quality demonstration of a skill is a very essential part of the learning process. Quality demonstrations of skills, that are short and focused on one key point at a time are essential to their learning process. Pedagogical principles of skill acquisition: To ensure that what the children practice, will actually train their bodies to move and behave in the most effective (agile, most energy effi cient, etc) way, a number of pedagogical prin- ciples must be respected. Firstly, skills must be introduced in order from the simplest through most complex, gradually building on each other. Secondly, the process can not be rushed. To ensure that the concept of movement commits to muscle memory, a sequence of exercises must be built up to 8 weeks of repetitions (with sessions twice per week). 7 Thirdly, the process cannot be confusing by introduction of any kind of tactical options (i.e. If your partner reacts this way, you turn right but if the partner reacts this way, you turn left), built into the sequence.

  • The History of Kodokan Judo
    American Traditional Jujutsu Association Judo Student Manual Chapter 2 The History of Kodokan Judo The art of Jujutsu has many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. Jujutsu schools (ryū) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, biting, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to jujutsu, many schools teach the use of weapons. While armed and unarmed combat has been around for the entire history of mankind, it has been suggested that Jujutsu, as a formal means of teaching, has been around for 600 to 1,000 years. Judo, meaning "gentle way", is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of Judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in Judo competition or free practice (randori). A Judo practitioner is called a Judoka. The philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed for Judo became the model for other modern Japanese martial arts that developed from koryu, traditional schools. The worldwide spread of Judo has led to the development of a number of offshoots such as Sambo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The early history of Judo is inseparable from its founder, Japanese polymath and educator Jigoro Kano, (1860- 1938), born Shinnosuke Kano.

Fundamental movements (kihon dosa): stressing fundamental principles found in old style jujutsu II. Fundamental techniques (kihon waza): techniques derived from the old schools of jujutsu and categorized into atemi-waza and kansetsu-waza III. The method of breaking away (ridatsu ho): breaking away and practically applying the atemi-waza when grasped by an opponent IV. The method of control (seigyo ho): controlling an opponent and practically applying the kansetsu-waza when grasped V. The method of randori (randori ho): avoiding and controlling the cuts and thrusts of a distant opponent Preface There are many kinds of Budo (martial arts) in Japan. In recent history, kendo and judo have been the major ones and, as Gakko Budo--martial arts systems taught as part of the PE curricula--they have been required courses in schools, including primary schools, since the Meiji period (1868-1912). And, as is well known, both kendo and judo incorporate competition and sparring. However, the training in ancient Budo consisted only of kata practice, the practice of forms and pre-arranged movements that one masters through numerous repetitions. Kendo and judo training were not kata alone.

  • Martial Arts Increase Oxytocin Production Yuri Rassovsky1,2, Anna Harwood1, Orna Zagoory-Sharon3 & Ruth Feldman 3
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Martial arts increase oxytocin production Yuri Rassovsky1,2, Anna Harwood1, Orna Zagoory-Sharon3 & Ruth Feldman 3 Numerous studies have demonstrated that oxytocin (OT), a peptide hormone, plays an important role Received: 15 July 2019 in regulating mammalian social behaviors, linking it to social afliation in parent-infant attachment, Accepted: 28 August 2019 romantic and flial relationships, and other prosocial behaviors, such as trust and cooperation. Not Published: xx xx xxxx surprisingly, research eforts have been made to increase endogenous levels of OT. In the present study, we investigated whether traditional martial arts training, which integrates the natural benefts of physical exercise with dyadic prosocial interaction, would result in OT response. To this end, 68 beginner and advanced participants were recruited from several schools practicing Jujitsu (“soft art”), a form of traditional martial arts originating in Japan. Salivary OT levels were assessed at baseline, immediately following high-intensity training, and following a cool-down period. Analyses revealed a signifcant increase in OT immediately after a high-intensity training, returning to baseline levels following a cool- down period. Additionally, although no signifcant diference between beginner and advanced martial artists was found, a signifcantly higher increase in salivary OT followed ground grappling, as compared to “punch-kick” sparring, indicating an added beneft of close contact tactile interaction. These results suggest that the reportedly socially benefcial efects of traditional martial arts may be in part mediated by OT release and underscore the potentially therapeutic applications of these methods for disorders involving social dysfunction, such as autism, conduct problems, or schizophrenia.

Ultimately, it is the study of your character. Judo has two major ideals: Maximum Efficiency and Mutual Benefit and Welfare. Both of these are foundations of the goal of Judo, which is the “harmonious development and eventual perfection of human character”. Judo has several aspects: recreation, physical fitness, competition, self-defense, art, social activity, service, etc. At some points during their training, the Judoka will concentrate on one or two of these. At other times, the Judoka will be working on several of these aspects. The important thing to remember is that Judo is big enough for all of these things. Wall to Wall Martial Arts Wall to Wall Martial Arts is a diverse and inclusive club, incorporating the many varied aspects of Judo. The goal of our instructors is to help you get what you want and what you need out of Judo, and to put back into Judo what you can. As a consequence, we have a Judo club that welcomes those studying Judo for any of its multitude of benefits. Most are interested in several, if not all, of the aspects of Judo. Likewise, Judo training is encouraged for men and women, boys and girls, regardless of age, background or physical condition.

  • This Is Not a Drill by Bill Myers in Judo Practice We Often Confuse Terminology
    This is Not a Drill by Bill Myers In judo practice we often confuse terminology. We have a few things we can usually agree on, as follows: Uchikomi: Fitting in. Repeating a throw’s off-balancing (kuzushi) and entry (tsukuri). Done standing still. Moving uchikomi: same as uchikomi, except done moving. Nagekomi: Throwing practice. Essentially uchikomi, but throwing (kake) at the end. Sutegeiko: Moving throwing practice. Tori throws uke, who provides an agreed upon level of resistance to tori. This is like a one-sided, light randori. Light randori: relaxed practice of throwing techniques focusing on speed, timing, and technique. Defense against throws relies on body movement (tai sabaki) and counter throws. Hard randori: strong, muscular practice focusing on power, speed, timing, and technique. Defense against throws relies on stiff arms, body movement (tai sabaki), and counter throws. This is close to competition (shiai), but without the adrenaline and referees. Drill: Uhhhh, yeah. Here’s where the disagreement really begins. Now, you may disagree with some of the finer points of the above definitions, but they would generally fit into what most people would give for a definition. Some people lump uchikomi and moving uchikomi together. Some people always do nagekomi and call it uchikomi. That’s not the important part. The interesting part gets to talking about what a drill is. If you look up drill in the dictionary, it says something along the lines of “instruct thoroughly by repetition in a skill”. From that, you might think that uchikomi, moving uchikomi, or nagekomi would fit into the definition, but not so fast.
