This Christmas Give-Away is to say thank you to all those who have been supporting Koka Kids Coaching Library with a paid subscription over the past year(s). I am truly appreciative and humbled by the amazing support this project is receiving from the judo community. There are now well over 1,000 subscribers and Koka Kids resources are being used in dojos in 89 countries around the world, isn’t that amazing? It’s an open project, and many of the resources have been shaped by idea from coaches and subscribers - so please get in touch if you have a great idea.
If you are not yet a paid subscriber and would like to join us - then here is information What the Koka Kids Judo Library is all about? and here is pricing info for a monthly or yearly subscription. It’s a great gift to yourself and to your club.
Here’s what some of the subscribers are saying:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
“I recommend this to everyone! The children’s knowledge has become much higher and their technical performance has become better. Children have become much more interested in learning!”
Sensei Stas Trener, the director of the Judo Kids School in Temirtau, Kazakhstan, where he teaches 300 judoka. Stas specialises in training juniors
“Each term, I print out certificates and teaching sheets for the techniques I plan to teach. I’ve noticed the kids feel that little bit more determined to work as they want to achieve the certificate that goes with learning each technique.”
Sensei Paul Jones, who directs Paul Jones School of Judo covering schools across southern England and London.
“Very informative, visually brilliant and most importantly it is pitched at the exact level and quality that kids need. We use every single tool that we can to make judo interesting and this does just that.”
Sensei Peter Gardiner, 6th Dan, director of Sportif Judo and former National Coach.
All the very best for 2025!
Yours in Judo,
Nik
