🥋 WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DO IN A JUDO CLASS? 🥋

If you’ve never tried judo before, you might be wondering what actually happens when you step onto the mat!

🙏 We start with a bow
Instead of shaking hands with everyone, we follow the traditional Japanese custom of bowing to open the class — a simple way of showing respect to each other.

🔥 Warm-up time
Every class is a little different! We might start with a short run, joint rotations and dynamic stretches… or it could be games, races and whatever fun ideas I can come up with that day!

🤸 Rolls & breakfalls
We practise different ways of rolling and falling safely. It’s one of the most important skills in judo and helps everyone become comfortable moving, rolling and landing on the mats.

🥋 Learning judo
Next we’ll usually learn or practise a throw, hold, combination, defence or movement. Sometimes it’s something completely new, and sometimes we work on improving techniques we already know.

💧 Quick drink break… then onto the move!
Once we’ve practised the technique, we try to use it while moving with a partner. This gradually develops into randori — free practice where we can experiment with our judo against a moving partner.

🏆 A little contest practice
Depending on the class, we might finish our judo with some gentle randori or shiai (contest practice), putting everything we’ve learned into action.

🎯 Games, cool-down & stretching
There’s usually time for another game or two, particularly with our juniors, before cooling down and stretching.

🙏 And we finish with a bow
A traditional way of saying thank you for teaching, thank you for learning, and thank you for training together.

Judo classes are about much more than learning how to throw someone! They develop fitness, coordination, confidence, discipline, resilience and respect — while having plenty of fun along the way. 🥋

Come along, step onto the mat and give judo a try!
