Class Descriptions:

General Judo: Learn Kodokan judo in a systematic way focusing on physical and technical development. Learn to use your body and strength efficiently to defend against an opponent through throws, pins, strangle and joint locks; all of which can be safely applied in both training exercises and realistic sparring sessions against a resisting opponent. Mostly aimed at adult students, teenage students may join based on parent's and instructor's consent. Read more about this class in depth.

Child Judo: (Age 6 to 11) Learn Kodokan judo in a systematic way focusing on mental, physical and technical development. The foremost emphasis is on learning to discipline oneself and respect each other through a mutually beneficial training environment. The physical emphasis is on developing the proper coordination, balance, agility, spatial awareness and strength. Technical exercises and supervised sparring session can help children to express their energy in a positive and productive way.

Adolescent Judo: (Age 12 to 16) Adolescence is an important physical and mental development phase which distinguishes these children from the younger child in their relative mental maturity, reasoning ability, strength and other physical development. In this phase, the classes are more intense and technique-oriented while still keeping the learning enjoyable. However, higher expectation is placed on students.

A continued emphasis on physical strength, balance, coordination, spatial awareness and agility is an integral part of the class. More emphasis is placed on learning Kodokan judo techniques with a faster progression compared to the younger age groups. Students are expected to take their lessons more seriously and search for continuous self-improvement through the application of their techniques and in mentality. Self-confidence, respect, improving coping ability, social bonding are also important part of the class.

Judo Conditioning: (Age 13+) A workout rarely seen elsewhere. Improve your fitness level using programs designed by an former elite athlete based on many exercises used for competition preparation. Learn the correct movement for localized and whole-body exercises, develop a strong core muscle group, and improve your coordination and balance at the same time. Enrollment in judo class is not necessary. It could be used with or without the judo classes.

Competition:
Throughout the year, there are many tournaments in Italy and Europe aimed at judo players of different skill levels and experience. As a club, we will attend some of them. Cadets and Juniors (14~16, 17~20) are required to participate in competitions according to their level. Senior (21+) are not required to participate but highly encouraged to do so, as competition can help you to test your skill under stress, time and rule limitations. Competition experience and performance carry a significant weight in promotion evaluation. Without it, promotion can take twice as long. Instructor must approve each player's request for participation based on his performance of technical skill and sparring in class.
