University of Montana Department of Health and Human Performance Activity Class Syllabus Course number and title: HHP 145-01 Beginning Judo Instructor: Kim Sol Department of Health and Human Performance Phone: (406) 728-4727 Email: kimsol@ Days and class time 8:10am—9:00am Monday and Wednesday Location: Schreiber Gym Overview: HHP 145(1) is designed to provide foundation skills for the martial art of Judo. Judo is a martial art and martial sport designed to promote physical fitness, self defense, and provide the basis for a high level competitive development of such skills for those who are interested in sport applications. Judo was the first martial art to be designated as an Olympic Sport because of its dynamic and powerful skills and variety of such skills. Sensei (Japanese for “teacher”) Sol has martial art ranking in six martial arts, and brings 43 years of experience in training and instructing Judo and has a 5th Dan rank in Judo. Objectives: Gain a foundation for the martial art and an understanding of the sport applications. Development skillsets for throwing, grappling, arm bars, sacrifice techniques, chokes and foot sweeps applicable to self-defense and to sport. Develop an understanding of the practice of skills in a martial art context and a sport context; with references to historical, cultural and technical development. Requirements (attire, equipment, etc.): Griz Card: Students do not need a Griz card to enter Schreiber Gym. Attire: Come to every class prepared to participate. Required dress is comfortable clothing that provides for a range of movement and activities. Generally, this is a heavy T-shirt or sweatshirt, and shorts or sweatpants. Judo specific uniforms are available for $40, which can be purchased back at the end of the semester for $40. Equipment provided: Judo Tatami Mats. Attendance/grading: Activity classes are Health & Human Performance lab classes and meet for a total of 30 hours each semester. Students cannot miss more than 6 hours of class. All absences count as such, even if for documented medical illness/injury, family emergency, sleeping in, missing class to study for a test, University of Montana sponsored events, or you stayed out too late the night before. In other words, we do not excuse absences. We do recognize significant events and in some circumstances might extend the number of allowed absences as follows. If you experience a significant event (for example, a documented extended illness, major injury, or the death of an immediate family member) the Activity Class Director will work with you to complete a “Petition to Extend Absences” or assist you with class withdrawal. Please see your instructor immediately if you have special needs related to your attendance. DO NOT wait until the end of the semester! Petitions are available from your instructor, the HHP Activity Class Office – McGill 117, or the HHP website at http://www.coehs.umt.edu/hhp/activity_classes/petition/default.html A note from the Curry Health Center or other medical provider that serves as documentation that you missed class to see them about a minor illness or routine appointment will not be considered an excused absence. It will count towards the 6 hours you are allowed to miss class for any reason. HOW YOU USE YOUR 6 HOURS IS UP TO YOU but it is recommended that you save the hours for late semester illnesses or other unexpected events. Missing 7 or more hours will result in a grade of NCR. Due to the large number of classes and limited facility availability we do not offer make-up classes. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University. Academic misconduct is defined as all forms of academic dishonesty and the Student Conduct Code is available on the Dean of Student’s website at: http://life.umt.edu/vpsa/documents/StudentConductCode1.pdf In particular, Student Conduct Code Section IV.a.5 identifies the following violations: Submitting false information: Knowingly submitting false, altered, or invented information, data, quotations, citations, or documentation in connection with an academic exercise. As this relates to HHP Activity Classes, examples of previous Student Conduct Code violations pursued by the HHP Department include, but are not limited to: Signing a friend’s name on the attendance sheet Having a friend participate in class for you and signing your name Signing in at the beginning of class and leaving instead of participating Forging documents to substantiate special circumstances as noted above Student Conduct Code Section V.D.2 identifies the following violation: Faculty members have the independent authority to exclude a student from any class session in which the student displays disruptive behavior that threatens the learning environment or safety and well-being of others in the classroom. The student remains eligible to return to the next class session. The faculty member maintains the authority to remove the student from each class session during which the student is disruptive. As this relates to HHP Activity Classes, any student removed from class for any of the above mentioned reasons will be marked absent for that day. Safety: Let Sensei Sol know if you have any preexisting injuries or if you are pregnant. Immediately report any in- class injuries to Sensei Sol. Listen to your body and go at your own pace. Semester schedule: Classes consist of three parts: warms-ups and stretching. You will learn “stair drills” as a means of rapid development of conditioning and leg strength.
