Judo - Kids (3 to 5 years)
Our 3–5 year-old program introduces children to judo through fun, active, and engaging activities designed specifically for preschoolers. Using games, obstacle courses, and movement-based exercises, children develop balance, coordination, agility, listening skills, confidence, and respect while becoming comfortable in a safe group environment.
At this stage, the focus is on Judo Awakening (Éveil-Judo)—building fundamental movement skills and introducing the core values of judo through play. Children learn basic body awareness, simple judo movements, and how to fall safely with assistance. Formal throwing techniques and partner confrontation are introduced beginning at age 6, ensuring every child progresses at an age-appropriate pace while developing a lifelong love of judo.

Judo - Kids (6 to 8 years)
In the 6–8 year-old group, students begin developing the fundamental technical skills of judo. They learn safe unassisted breakfalls, introductory throwing techniques, and ground skills including turnovers, immobilizations, and escapes.
Through fun, structured activities and partner practice, children build coordination, confidence, discipline, respect, and teamwork while gaining their first experience with safe, age-appropriate judo practice. This class provides the strong technical foundation needed for future progression in the sport.

Judo - Youth (9 to 11 years)
In the 9–11 year-old group, students continue building on their technical foundation while developing greater precision, control, and confidence in their judo. They refine their throwing and ground techniques, learn combinations and transitions, and begin applying their skills in more dynamic situations.
As students mature, they participate in more structured randori (free practice), helping them develop timing, decision-making, resilience, and sportsmanship in a safe and supportive environment. Whether training for recreation or preparing for competition, this class provides the technical and personal development needed for the next stage of their judo journey.
