IPPON JUDO (12 – 16 years old)

Contents:

Lots of fall techniques and easier acrobatics.

Mat techniques and throw techniques in order to give the kids the possibility to grade to higher belts.

The main purpose of this training is “techniques” and all kinds of “randori”

Theoretical learning on food consumption, liquid consumption, physical and mental training methods, ethics and moral.

Theoretical learning on “competition judo”, planning and setting objectives for the near and far future.

Objectives:

To try to gather boys and girls which are interested in “competition judo”

To teach these kids to listen, pay attention and do as the teachers say.

To teach the kids the importance of “fair play” according to the clubs ethics and morals.

To increase the knowledge and importance of fall techniques, coordination, and body construction.

To teach Judo techniques as much as possible in order to give the kids a chance to grade to higher belts no matter which group the kids wants to follow. (Competition or just motion)

To educate the kids so they “think” Judo where ever they are, in or outside the “dojo”

To teach the kids, in theory, all about food consumption, weight, doping, tobacco, alcohol and potentially dangerous drugs.

To organise activities such as training camps, referee school, trainer school, and fundamental club knowledge.

To create a place where kids, boys and girls, parents and teachers can interact with good spirit, ethics and morals and create a lifelong interest for this sport.

It is not important:

“Automatic learning” of techniques are not essential

Strength and condition training are not essential either. Those who want to try some “harder” training, are welcome to do so.

Advanced “tactical” training or advanced “kumi-kata” training are not a priority.

Competitions:

When boys and girls reach the age of 12 or 13, the competitions are more “serious”, and those who train enough are allowed to compete in various competitions inside our district, and sometimes even outside the district. When they reach the age of 13 they are allowed to compete in so called “Schools Masters”, and when they reach 14 years, they can participate in National competitions.

IPPON JUDO IS NOT A TRAINING METHOD TO GET KIDS TO BECOME SWEDISH CHAMPIONS, BUT A METHOD TO KEEP THEM AS ACTIVE JUDOKAS THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.
