Leg Lift Certificate
This month we’ve have been working on improving groundwork skills, providing four useful teaching tools:
1. A step by step dojo poster (that you can download high resolution pdf file and print) showing how to do the Leg Lift turnover, with each step clearly illustrated.
2. A study sheet that children can write in their own notes under each step as they learn this turnover.
3. An activity sheet with some fun puzzles to accompany the book “10 Hold Downs and 10 Challenges.”
4. An Achievement Certificate to recognise progress made.
Did you see the QR Codes? All our resources have a QR to scan and watch the technique come to life in a short animation that can be played and replayed! It’s a great way to learn.
Next month, a new technique!
Next Monday we begin with a throw that is a must in any judoka’s repertoire: Tai-otoshi!
To get the Tai-otoshi Resources make sure you’re subscribed to a paid account
