This very active, very physical, and very fun class is for younger judo and ju-jitsu practitioners who know how to fall, know basic techniques and have an interest in developing their skills more fully. Taught by national champions, this class will include conditioning, a wide variety of standing and mat techniques as well as a limited number of chokes. There will be plenty of safe, but strong, free-play (sparing)with an emphasis on preparation for competition. Participants can take part in local, California State and US National Championships. Games, such as, Sumo or Brazilian Capture the Flag will be a fun conclusion to every practice. Note: Participants will be required to become members of the US Judo Federation (www.usjf.com), which offers insurance and the privilege to take part in other events. The annual fee is $50.
This class is for ages 7-15 and meets for 3 classes held on Mondays. For more information, please visit www.albanyjudo.org
