A Judo Dictionary “Das Judo Wörterbuch”

 

We are extremely excited to introduce our second Judo book in the German language. Titled “Das Judo Wörterbuch”, this book has been expertly translated by Sensei Jörg Bischoff.

It features a collection of 85 commonly used Japanese Judo terms along with their corresponding meanings in German. The terms are presented in a visually appealing and entertaining manner, making it easy for children to grasp and learn them effectively. This book serves as an excellent resource for young Judoka who are eager to expand their language skills within the context of Judo.

In addition to “Das Judo Wörterbuch” you can also purchase this book alongside another fantastic German Koka Kids book titled “Lerne Judo” on Amazon.

“Lerne Judo” is a comprehensive book that covers a wide range of essential information about Judo, including groundworks, throws, turnovers, and combinations. This book is designed to provide a thorough understanding of Judo, making it suitable for beginners and those looking to enhance their skills.

The positive feedback for “Lerne Judo” has been overwhelming, as it has already received numerous outstanding 5-star reviews. By combining both “The Judo Dictionary” and “Learn Judo,” young athletes can not only improve their technical skills but also develop a solid understanding of the terminology used in the sport. We believe that these resources will greatly benefit young Judoka on their journey to mastering Judo.

Judo Moral Code – Encouraging Friendship in the Dojo

Comments Off on Judo Moral Code – Encouraging Friendship in the Dojo

What is the judo moral code?

Jigoro Kano invented a set of values for judoka to follow which is called the judo moral code. 

In this series we look at how we can encourage these values in a dojo through every-day examples, with supporting coaching resources including eight moral code posters and eight study sheets.

 

Friendship

Learning judo is a great way for children to build friendships, with plenty of opportunity for shared experiences and fun. These are bonds that will last a life-time, and friendships are one of judo’s greatest gifts to us all. 

 

Six examples of Friendship in the Dojo

  1. Accepting and respecting all judoka for who they are.
  2. Cheering your club mates on at tournaments
  3. Encouraging a team mate who is going through a hard patch.
  4. Attending club events and volunteering to help out when you can.
  5. Lending your judogi to a friend who forgot theirs so they can participate.
  6. Checking in your mates and asking how they are.

Judo Moral Code – Encouraging Self-Control in the Dojo

Categories: Uncategorized
Comments Off on Judo Moral Code – Encouraging Self-Control in the Dojo

What is the judo moral code?

The judo moral code is an eight-part set of values, invented by judo’s founder Jigoro Kano. The eight values are courage, courtesy, honour, honesty, modesty, respect, self-control and friendship and all eight are covered in the Koka Kids judo moral code series, with supporting material for coaches to use including poster and sticker templates.

In this eight part Moral Code series we look at how we can encourage these values in a dojo through every-day examples.

 

Self-Control

Judo is a great teacher of self-control, as it makes us learn how to deal with a myriad of emotions from an early age. And as we get to know ourselves and our needs better, we are able to control those emotions a little better. But it’s an ongoing lesson.

 

Six examples of Self-Control in the Dojo

  1. Focussing your attention on what you are doing during a whole judo class without getting distracted.
  2. Remaining calm and composted after losing a contest
  3. Staying quiet and paying attention and listening to your sensei even when you really want to chatter is a great example of self control in the dojo.
  4. Coming to training even if you don’t feel like it
  5. Turning doubts and fears and negativity into possibilities and positivity.
  6. Keeping your patience while you learn a new technique, and you can’t quite do it yet.

Respect

Mostly, we think about respect in the sense of respecting others. But what about respect of the environment? And very importantly what about self-respect? It’s one of the most important values for young judoka to get to grips with.

Six examples of Respect in the Dojo

  1. Bowing to your partner before and after each randori is a sign of respect in judo.
  2. Keeping the dojo tidy and clean and respecting and looking after training equipment is another important aspect of respect
  3. Accepting decisions of referees without complaint, even if you disagree with it.
  4. Giving your full attention to you coach when they are speaking or explaining a technique.
  5. Complimenting another judoka on their good technique is a sign of respect for your club mates and for their efforts.
  6. Giving other judoka enough space on the mat to practice

See more examples of how you can apply the judo code of ethics in a judo situation.
