Junior Under 45kg Judo Training

What to Expect at Junior under 45kg training

At Whakatane Judo Club's Junior under 45kg training, participants engage in structured Judo sessions focused on individual development and mutual growth. This activity is open to all ages, males and females, and caters to many disability groups, making it suitable for everyone looking to build confidence and self-esteem through progression in the ranks. The grading system sets realistic, achievable goals that reward application and effort, ensuring steady advancement.

Judo training provides an excellent cardiovascular workout, boosting stamina, general health, and overall fitness. As a sport practiced worldwide in over 200 countries and featured in the Olympics since 1964 and at the Commonwealth Games, it emphasises physical exercise in a disciplined manner. For young people, Judo helps develop sound moral character and honest conduct, encouraging physical and psychological well-being in a fun and safe environment. Children learn the basic principles of the sport without any kicking, punching, or striking—it's more a sport than a martial art, promoting respect for one another through physical fitness and mental stimulation.

The session lasts 75 minutes and is free to try, so newcomers can join without commitment. No prior experience is required; sessions guide participants through techniques that enhance coordination and discipline. This training fosters community connections in Whakatāne, where members support each other's growth, creating a welcoming space for families and individuals to bond over shared progress. With 233 members, the club offers a supportive network that extends beyond the mat, promoting lasting friendships and personal achievements. 🥋
