Judo for Kids

Presented by Angel Perez

Learn judo techniques and throws in this free sports fitness video series on Judo for Children from our professional black belt instructor.

Series Summary

Way back in Japan of the 1880's, his fellow students picked on poor little Jogoro. He began martial arts training to fend off these bullies, yet found most of the moves he learned just got him beat up even more. His fellow students were much bigger than Jogoro and simply overpowered him. Determined to be able to defend himself, he invented his own type of martial arts, one which uses an opponent's size and strength against them. Applying his new judo techniques, Jogoro was able to defeat these big bullies with a variety of throws, rolls and holds which turn an attacker's momentum into the defender's advantage. Jogoro Kano's new martial art was so successful that it continues to win converts to this day, from young children to senior citizens. In addition to building a student's physical agility and self confidence, the judo philosophy seeks to improve their mental abilities as well. In this series of free fitness videos, we focus on judo for kids. Our black belt expert Angel Perez has an impressive record in coaching his teams to championships in Florida. With a group of his young students, he demonstrates several basic techniques such as side and back falls, front rolls, shoulder throws, and foot sweeps. By mastering the moves in these videos, your youngster can experience the advanced fitness and healthy state of mind of the judo Jogoro and not the frustration of the poor kid who got pushed around.
