Parents guide to Judo – Neil Adams

The famous Judo athlete Neil Adams, who is often heard commentating at International Judo Federation events recently posted on his blog a “Parents Guide to Judo“.

It is a fantastic summary of Judo and echoes much of what we have written about here at Judo4Parents.com.

Highlights worth considering for example is the section on “What Is Expected From The Judo Parents”, which like our post: The parents role in judo highlights the importance of participation in Judo being fun and rewarding, more so than being an opportunity for sporting glory.

The International Judo Federation (IJF) is involved in promoting Judo participation in children, via the “Judo for children” project. The project aims to:

Judo for Children fights against any kind of discrimination and segregation. It promotes a powerful educational activity that helps to built the mind and body of the younger generations. It instils the judo values such as respect, honor, friendship, self control, modesty, politeness… and give them skills for life

As we reboot this website, we will continue to find new things to share with parents ideas for you.
