Judo Session

Bowing

Bushido Judo Club is fortunate to have many coaches that have the knowledge to provide important and friendly tuition. Judo training at Bushido Judo Club is an exciting, fun, safe, and supportive environment with the main goal being to learn judo and to improve yourself through understanding judo.

Every judo session begins with bowing to the instructor/s, this is a display of respect. Throughout the training session judokas (judo players) bow to each other before and after practice.

Typically, a training session begins with general stretching exercises which is a great opportunity to improve general flexibility. After the stretching exercises the session then moves into the warming up exercises. These exercises are usually fairly light with the intent to prepare the judoka for training. Certain games can be adopted for the same purpose.

The class will then move towards instruction of technique, which is then followed by practice, then revision. Once the technique has been taught, free practice will begin.  Free practice is when judokas have the opportunity to practice their technique on each other.

It is important to note; As a sport Judo does not allow hitting with hands or feet, there is no striking of any kind.
