Mini Kids Judo 3 - 4 years
These classes develop the core skills of movement with a leaning towards basic Judo movements - safe falling - jumping - balance - contact awareness, as well as developing concentration and self confidence in a games structured environment. Games are developed to create the awareness of the desired skills of Judo with lots of fun and laughter.

These classes develop the core skills of Judo - safe falling - balance - contact awareness. The classes are conducted in a games environment where the games are structured to create awareness of the desired skill, Big Ball Sumo, Pillow fights and Crash Mat battles are just some of the fun games the children play.

These classes develop specific Judo skills but with a high "game" element. Safe falling skills are more developed to increase the ability to relax during the fall. Gradings commence in this age group.
