The 5-8 year old class concentrates on building skills needed for Judo, balance, strength. agility, learning to  listen, watch and copy, learning to work with others, as well as basic judo throws, holds and games.  The class is headed up by " Winky" our under 8's coach and assisted by the other coaches at the club.  Children have the opportunity to progress through the British Judo Association Grading scheme , a system of coloured tags on the belt called Mons.
