Judo |
This is a video from Google showing an instructor teaching children judo. Key to teaching judo to children is to challenge them in gradual steps. Helping them achieve mastery in small step. |
|
|
When children know how to handle themselves, they have greater confidence and can more calmly approach challenges at play and in school. They can be peaceful and kind in part because they have less fear. |
Small steps to success
In addition to physical technique, children learn Japanese terms and something about japanese culture. Judo training is broadening on many levels. |
|
Notice how the instructor nurtures the children and guides their performance of the techniques. Sensei Ogasawara is a former Associate Professor Physical Education - at Kokushikan, Tokyo Japan and former Head Coach of West Point US Military Academy Judo Team. Note this is a clip from Google it is not a video made at CATHE. We present this video, because it is an excellent example of judo instruction helping children learn to do their best.
