See details below.
British Judo's nationwide Adult Beginners Course
returns for 2012
The Olympic year is upon us and now you can experience one
of the Olympic Games’ most fascinating sports alongside fellow newcomers as
British Judo’s Adult Beginners Course (ABC) returns for 2012 in January and
February.
ABC offers you the opportunity to have a fun-fuelled, new
experience while you receive expert tuition and become familiar with judo’s
highly-motivating and rewarding non-competitive grading scheme.
You’ll see your fitness levels, balance, coordination and
flexibility develop in a no-pressure environment.
British Judo’s motto is ‘Judo for All’ as the sport can be
practiced by all ages and official weight categories for senior judo players
(known as judoka) who choose to enter competitions goes from -48kg to +78kg for
women and -60kg to +100kg for men.
The sport, which emanates from Japan, is steeped in
tradition and promotes values such as honour and respect with participants
bowing to show respect to everyone on the mat.
No prior experience of judo or any sport is required; you can bring a family member, a friend or make new ones along the way as you practice the sport over the 10-week course and acquire all the skills to complete your first grading (red belt) at its conclusion - your first step on the ladder towards the coveted black belt!
For the course fee of just £60 payable on the second day of the course, first day which starts on the 11th Jan 2012 is free, you will receive 10 weeks judo tuition, and a free Judo suit. You will however need to Join Judo Scotland after 4 weeks training if you wish to continue, current yearly membership of Judo Scotland is £28.
BORDERS JUDO ACADEMY TRAINING
Reminder to all players willing to push themselves that bit
further, that you are invited to attend the Borders Judo Academy (no cost) on
Sunday 8th Jan or Sun 15th Jan for assessment 0930 hours till 1130 hours. This training is
designed for any player who wants to train that bit harder with a view to
competing at local, regional and national events. The coaching is
conducted by Focus Judo and guest coaches from other Borders clubs.
