Chibi (little) Judo helps children grow in wonderful ways. As we jump, run and roll, we develop balance, coordination and confidence. And we have fun! We start out learning our names in Japanese then do movement exercises, tumbling and some simple judo techniques that teach us to fall safely. We place a strong emphasis on culture so everyone plays games, sing songs and speaks the language of Japan. We learn to 'nete' (lie down) and to 'tonde' (leap) like a 'raion' (lion). In our positive learning environment we bow politely to Sensei and to one another. At Hanabi, respect and discipline comes as naturally as smiling.

Hajime! (Begin!) Judo establishes a strong base of judo technique, culture, and character. As we jump, run, and roll we develop balance, coordination and confidence! And we have fun! We start out learning our names in Japanese then do movement exercises and some simple judo techniques that teach us to fall safely. We place a strong emphasis on culture so everyone speaks the language of Japan. We learn to 'nete' (lie down) and to 'tonde' (leap) like a 'raion' (lion). Judo allows a smaller person to control an opponent bigger and stronger than themselves. We learn to hold a person down with 'kesa-gatame' (scarf hold) and we practice throws where our opponent can be flipped upside-down – on Sensei. Every class finishes with games that develop physical coordination, balance and laughter. We sing in Japanese about inspiration and bow to each other respectfully. Then we say 'arigato' (thank you). Respect and discipline are as much a part of Hanabi as smiling.
