The UTS Judo instructors are of international standing, being former National Team members, or having years of experience in different levels of competition.

KID’S CLASSES

Our kids’ judo classes are fun, exciting, and excellent training for all ages. Simply choose the judo class that’s right for your child’s age and ability.

★ AGES 5-6

In these beginner classes, we teach children how to fall safely, help them improve their balance, and develop contact awareness. We make the classes fun with activities from pillow fights to Big Ball Sumo and even easy crash mat battles.

★ AGES 7-8

At this age level, students will start to learn real judo skills, albeit still with a strong game element to engage the children. A high metric is put on safe falling and how to relax their bodies. This helps them prep for the more advanced classes where contact and falling will be much more common.

★ AGES 9-10

Now we start getting into teach the children real judo skills that they can use! A strong emphasis is put on throwing and groundwork techniques.

★ AGES 11-15

This is when we amp up our training – and our students love it! Building up strength at this age is important, as is training the mind to focus more clearly as so much else begins to happen to your body and mind.

UTS JUDO KIDS ACADEMY

As a parent, you want the best for your child. You want them to have strong visons of themselves and to interact well with the world around them. You don’t want their faces stuck in screens or playing video games all day and night!

That’s why judo has such a powerful impact on children. It gets them out into the world, away from their screens, and gets them to socialise. They build their bodies along with their minds and become better grown-ups in the future.
