IJF Judo for Children asks Nik about how Koka Kids helps teachers and inspires judoka, what Nik’s key to success is and Nik’s message to other judo teachers.
If these are the sort of questions you are asking – you’ve come to the right place.
Koka Kids has trawled the net, found the info on Judo Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and put it here for you.
Plus it gets better.
Koka Kids has also created a new resource to get kids involved and it’s called:
Using the skills learn in the Koka Kids book « How to Draw the Koka Kids Characters », Tyra has gone to town drawing not one but four of the Koka Kids characters.
The judo cartoon characters are kneeling up, in their judo suits, waiting to bow. We love it! Well done Tyra.
Tyra has won a Hajime Judo Suit which is a superb quality starter judo kit especially designed by Fighting Films for children.
Last month, the top prize was a Koka Kids Judo T-shirt and a bundle of judo books – which was won by Elwyn from St Albans Judo Club.
Why not have a go? Draw a judo picture, and enter your masterpiece: How to Enter the Judo Colouring Contest.
The results are in! April’s winner of the Koka Kids Judo Colouring Competition is Elwyn (St Albans Judo Club) with a brilliant picture of Uchi Banani.
But don’t despair. All is not lost. We have a brand new prize and a brand new colouring contest – that begins today and closes May 31st 2021.
What’s the prize?
The prize for May is a fantastic Fighting Films Children’s Judo Suit and you can enter and share the contest from this link:

Please let as many people as you can know about this next colouring competition for the kids!
Benefits of colouring for kids are many. Since the release of colouring books like I Am Confident, Brave and Beautiful and Go Girl Doodles (which both shot to the Amazon Bestseller lists) – colouring books have become a recognised form for children to develop confidence. Psychologists have found allowing children to colour allows them to express themselves and make independent choices. Colouring books also benefit children by developing physical skills, like hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
Here, at Koka Kids we hold a monthly Colouring Competition, where children can enter the art and win prizes.
