What is Judo?
Judo is a martial art that was started in Japan, and is now played around the world as an Olympic sport. The word Judo means “the gentle way” and it is played by both boys and girls of all ages. It is also used widely as a form of self-defence.
What are the benefits of Judo?
Children who play Judo benefit both physically and emotionally. Emotionally they grow in their discipline, teamwork and self-confidence. Physically, they improve in their coordination, fine motor skills, the strengthening of their neck and shoulder muscles, learning how to balance and improve their spatial awareness.
All this takes place in a fun, encouraging environment, where they are allowed to work at their own pace to develop these skills. In Judo we reward both skills mastered as well as effort and persistence. Children receive grading cards with skills they will learn as well as stickers and medals for competitions and teamwork.
Cost: R600 per term (Due by the 2nd lesson of every term and includes the level cards, new colour belts and medal competition.)

We look forward to coaching your child.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to offer your children pottery next term, and look forward to meeting our future engineers, architects an creative giants!
Not only do they take home 7 or 8 pieces each term, but also engage in a therapeutic process which extends and enriches their experience and understanding of themselves and their world. My lessons usually begin with a story and initially we work together a group. It is here that fine motor skills, auditory and visual memory, hand-eye co-ordination and listening skills are hard at work. Slowly as our creations emerge there is more freedom for individual interpretation. My lessons are creative and fun while they are informed and inspired by my experience in Special Education and early development.
