Taught as a competitive sport, judo teaches kids how to throw a partner using balance and leverage and helps them learn self-control and respect for their opponent
The class begins with a warmup, consisting of movements forwards, backwards and sideways, pushups, sit-ups and breakfalls. The students then learn or review a technique leading into randori. Randori is when two students train together to try to takedown each other and hold each other down with control. The students have a lot of fun doing this part of class because they can practice the techniques they know. It also gives the students a chance to learn and try new techniques and teach each other. The students receive stripes on their belts which leads to color belts.
