Senior

Senior Classes (Aged 11 years and over)

Our senior classes are for people aged 11 years and over whether they are new to Judo or are experienced Judoka.

Juniors may be invited to attend Senior classes if recommended by the head coach.

Senior classes are designed to extend the skills of judoka from beginner to advanced. Many of the activities will focus on techniques and performing those techniques in a dynamic situation against an opponent. Each class begins with warm up exercises before leading into the skills.

Seniors will learn -

• movement patterns
• how to breakfall
• dojo etiquette
• throwing techniques
• pinning techniques including arm locks and chokes (14 years and over)
• Japanese terms

Classes are run by coaches or assistant coaches who have completed or are progressing through the approved Judo New Zealand coaching courses.

Our aim is that you develop confidence to take on new challenges, acquire new skills and make new friends in a safe and fun environment. Underpinning the learning are the the eight values of the judo moral code taught to every judoka from the first time they enter a dojo - Respect, honesty, self-control, friendship, courtesy, honour, courage and modesty.
