This is our usual play session prior to going into the dojo to lay the mat for the judo class, Jordyns went from learning to crawl on a judo mat through learning to walk on a judo mat and now is learning rough and tumble on the mat, Once the kids class starts he participates in the warm up before his mum takes him through to the jungle gym so the class can start properly. the hope being by the time he's 4 or 5 and ready to join in the little samurai class he'll be more than able to fully participate. As his dad i would love to see him get the pleasure from a lifetime in judo as i have, and as a coach he's a chance to instill all the fundementals of judo into a child from birth on. Will it make him a good judoka, who knows! but i'm sure it will make him a good person
That looked like loads of fun and was really cute. I hope the head first falls don't become a habit.
