About Seattle Dojo
 Judo
is an excellent activity for kids. In addition to fitness,
flexibility, agility, and coordination, it helps children develop
concentration, respect for others, self-confidence, and self-control.
Judo encourages children to dispel negative attitudes, and it provides a
strong sense of community with opportunities to form unique and lasting
friendships. Judo also provides children with exposure to the
infinitely rich language and culture of Japan.
 While learning and
performing graceful and meaningful techniques is inherently satisfying, in
order for a sport to fulfill the physical, social, and emotional needs of
children, it must first and foremost be FUN so that children are motivated
to continue. At Seattle Dojo, the classes for kids emphasize safety and
teach the basic techniques of throwing, groundwork, and ukemi (safe falling)
while motivating the kids through various types of games designed to teach
contact awareness, spatial orientation, balance, and agility.
 Monthly
practice tournaments are organized to prepare students for optional local
tournaments that are held regularly, and colored belts are awarded to
recognize achievement.
For more information, all
kids and parents are invited to attend our practice sessions on Mondays and
Thursdays between 7:00pm and 8:30pm.
