Do you know of any fun games that we can play for the children? When i was growing up it was just blood sweat and tears. LOL.. things are different now and i want the kids to have more fun. Do you have any materials that i can view to get ideas? Thank you

Nicola Fairbrother's avatar

Yes, I do. There's a book with 20 fun drills, that relate to the fundamental skills needed to do each technique: https://www.kokakids.co.uk/koka-kids-book/10-drills. Also if you look in the archives here there are some fun games and warm up ideas: https://kokakids.substack.com/archive

Hi William, great to have your here. You can start by looking through the archives tab, this gives you a good mix of everything. There are resources to teach techniques or to promote your class. You can download and use at your dojo. Let me know if that helps?

Hi Nic,

The 4 skills certificates and the task sheets are awesome.. I hadn't seen the break down on how to use them so glad i read through. So my next questions is how many techniques do you have for the 4 skills certificates? I would like to start implementing them for all the techniques we are teaching now. Is there a section in the site for all the 4 skills certificates so i can check? Also is there coloring pages for the techniques? I would like to send home while we are teaching the technique so the kids stay engaged etc. thanks again.. William.. ps.. hope your trip to Everest was awesome. seemed incredible..

Nicola Fairbrother's avatar

And thank you Everest was so incredible, seeing the children at the judo clubs just made it so special and worthwhile

If you look here William you’ll be able to find all the 4Skills done so far - 5 techniques up already, a new one coming each month

Excellent. I purchased two of the book and will start working with the students etc. Thank you again for everything. If i may can i ask what is included in the monthly membership subscription. I just want to be clear what's available and what is separate. Regardless there is great value just want to understand. I would like to get some banners in the future etc.. thanks again..

The main difference is in the paid subscription you will receive Technical resources (ie the Skills Leve Certificates for judo throws and turnovers and combinations and hold downs. In the free version there is no techniques. But there are resources to help promote judo classes like flyers and posters.
