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.

 

Get judoka thinking about their behaviour with these study sheets.
