Kids this age lack the coordination to follow complex drills. However, there is still a lot they can do athletically.
From movement exercises to simple break fall techniques and more, our gamified lessons will help your child develop balance and coordination to take on more complex challenges.
If your kid gets bored too fast to follow a traditional judo lesson, this is the class you’ve been looking for. The #TheDojoTods is all about helping kids open up to judo while having loads and loads of fun.

Things get interesting at this stage as kids are introduced to a variety of engaging games aimed at boosting their confidence and gross-motor skills. To ensure safety, we precede those games with some fun warm-up activities first, like tumbling, jumping and running.
Week by week you’ll see a notable improvement in your child’s strength, reaction speed, and core motor skills. The slow but steady improvement allows kids to overcome challenges that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago.
As your kids are introduced to the philosophy and mindset of judo, they feel more relaxed, open up and interact with other kids — thus developing lifelong social skills.

Since our children are growing up in the digital age, they are facing more distractions than any generation before them, each fighting hard to grab their attention and to divert it away from the things that matter the most.
That’s why it’s now more important than ever to help your teen find the right activities — ones that are not only fun but also productive in shaping their personality. Their very future.
One activity that fits the bill is judo. It provides children with an opportunity to develop competence and resilience from an early age so they can thrive for the rest of their life
