Based on the study of attitudes reflexes, judoka will always ensure to keep the head straight and facing the opponent. During a projection, he will turn it in the direction of the imbalance and will return the chin. It will be the same for dodging or resistance (but the head will rotate in the opposite direction). Only a beginner leans your head forward to observe the evolution of the feet: This practice is unacceptable from a black belt. By reflex action of the labyrinth of the inner ear, it inevitably breaks the balance of the body.

What is judo? ( Educational Value Of Judo )
Educational Value Of Judo
Special case: the lateralization 6 to 9 years
This is a critical time for children of this age who, before eventually work as efficiently right and left, must first strengthen its preferential side so as to identify know if compared to the median axis of his body.
For this, two steps:
1) Know the dominant side, the one who undertakes, and the side of support
According to Dr. Azémar, the elementary formula of individual lateralization "eye hand. foot ". can determine the dominant side with physical exercises and tests. More recent research take into account auditory laterality.
An exercise among others: jump. takeoff foot is the foot support, the other will be manager.
The teacher will recognize students who:
- Strong lateralities
- Either homogeneous [DDD - G.G.G.]
- Either cross [D.G.D. - G.D.G.]
- The thwarted lateralities or floating
- They hesitate or alternate [D. G.]
Acknowledgment made, the trainer will know which students must particularly assist in building the laterality of exercises and body orientation in space.
2 / Strengthen their respective function, unique to each individual, the right and left.
Mr.Paul Vayer states as regards the hands: «It is certain that despite appearances, ambidexterity is a bad formula. The skill, address require a frank laterality, left or right. » It is the same foot.
Lack of knowledge of this functional but non-hierarchical difference could lead to a motor â child education resulting risks disorientation, language, character, adaptation to environment, ...
The right-left recognition, which will be mainly from the guiding hand, does strongly determines that between 9 and 12 years. (depending Azémar).
The practice of judo has an important role to play in the psychomotor development of the child and particularly that of a frank and assertive lateralization.
The craze for the practice of judo for children from 6 years in our country is very important because many parents form what was a dream (inability to practice this discipline for various reasons ...) for them in reality for their children.
This age calls us to the fact that the teaching of this subject not only to be taken seriously, and may be a club filling means, without serious planning, but also because judo (especially) is a discipline that can address some general educational problems.
This evolution imposes on us imperatively to reflect on a teaching process that wants active, attractive, permanently soliciting dynamic actions of the protagonists (UKE, who undergoes the action and the running TORI).
it is very simple, with a easy way to view these young judokas as mini-adults and provide them with a mini-judo modeled on that of the elderly. The focus involves the use of appropriate pedagogy at different stages of understanding of the child.
Learning must be attractive and capable of applying a technique that is true only in relation to the opportunity that spawned. This should not be an automated learning bringing together Always a consenting partner mannequin (liabilities) and never acting.
The teaching judo to children must be specific. It must meet the psychological and biological characteristics of these children.
For a better understanding of our process, our analysis should be placed in a general context.
In our schools, the vast majority of children do not practice sport and physical activity. We find these children outside school hours in sports associations, in the judo rooms. They are often packed on each other, left for a few hours in an anarchic way to relieve excess energy that characterizes them.
The teacher before this situation can not ensure that childcare therefore is faced with a dilemma compared to its true mission: care or education?
Before the instability that is very well known at this age, the teacher must give â teaching rather general because the child likes the variety of activities. On this basis. and whatever the pedagogical adaptation necessary for that age group exercises that are proposed must, for the bringing into play of major functions (respiratory, circulatory, neuro-motor) retain their functional activation of the character set in the part of a widespread physical education.
What is judo ?
As judo of course being a combat sport, there should be no denatured cases. The main interest initially seems to be the possibility of allowing the child to let off steam, rolling on the floor, confront his friend by holding it judogi - holding Judo - ... by mini clashes following rules had the well established.
Also, the objectives of our proposal on the action to be taken against children of this age are very clear. should not always form a judoka very early to make it better later; but simply EDUCATE children "6-12 years" by one means What is judo ?. This will allow the teacher to play a role and a complementary Action of those the family and the school.
Judo is first an education, a bodily education. since we will learn to control his body balance, coordination, lateralization before entering a physical training program.
Judo is also a school of character education by:
- Usually voluntary effort
- Self-control, removal of inhibitions
Mental education by:
- An open mind
- Compulsory sincerity towards oneself
Social education by:
- By the release of primary instincts
- The transformation of the fighting in aggression
- The removal of distrust leading to the idea of non-violence
- The fair presentation to others, mutual aid
- Solidarity
- Respect for the other
In this process judo is not definitively chosen discipline as future sport is part of basic education.
Thus it is normal that once this course 12 years ago, many children forsake judo for other sports. However, some of them, the particular predispositions become very comprehensive judokas to the extent that they will have solved thanks to him a large number of their own conflicts â stages of evolution.
CONCLUSION: FOR THIS AGE GROUP, PROFESSOR OF JUDO BE A ROLE OF FIRST EDUCATEUR1.
For the child, judo is a wonderful game that allows it to achieve number of things, that no longer allow the requirements of modern life, where spaces reserved for games in our country are becoming increasingly rare. In our opinion, it is imperative that future playgrounds, adequate spaces are pre \ us early childhood in order to give the most favorable conditions for the development of the child.
The game does not mean anarchy, rowdiness, etc ..., but a means to acquire serious child good habits to practice judo why the child is coming. Notwithstanding the fact that the child prepared by this practice entering the social life and its future place in society ...
The attitude at the Dojo (training hall)
Judo is a product of Japanese civilization, it applies reproduced or rather certain traditional values-used yet there is a generation in Europe. This can resurrect unconsciously respect for hierarchy - both in the family and in social life - of the discipline, effort and respect for others ...
The gain of parents in monitoring of the evolution of the child
The ideal is the mood imposed by the master to workouts can enable parents who wish to attend classes, to discover over time behavior capable of providing the child with mental structures and governed related to the discipline practiced with all the connotations that this imposes, namely respect for living standards that prepare him to be a responsible citizen in the future.
Experience shows that very often there is a big difference between the behavior of the child within the family, the school and the dojo (training hall). Then after a few years of practice. the habits. reflexes, will become acts of daily life.
What can bring judo with ill lateralized?
- Uchi-komi, yaku soku geiko ... to the extent that the teacher remains very attentive while leaving the student to work on the side he prefers are exercises that strengthen the modal laterality and foot coordination eye,
raising awareness for children with disorders of laterality, the different roles of both feet.
- Building work of manual lateralization, which is not addressed in judo should be an additional work can be done from games of skill and manipulation but with the constant concern to attract students' attention on the choice of their guiding hand, that is to say the more skilful. The acquisition by the practice of judo, a farm lateralization, right or left, is a way to access the maximum development of physical and mental abilities of the child:
- in the motor domain: of motor coordination deficiencies, the organizational difficulties of space for a child who still hesitates between his right and his left, result in a lack of skill and ability. The practice of judo, giving the two sides of the body rightful place them according to their function and among individuals, harmoniously developed physical abilities of the child.
- In the psychological: by giving the student the opportunity to move with fluency he lacks training at the dojo can secure, the valorize in daily activities and avoid or reduce potential psychological problems related to his hesitant laterality.
- in the social sphere: the attraction it can feel for this training builds motivation and promotes social integration. Europe with a high proportion of young people under twenty years it is normal that the authorities are particularly looking at the basic education of young people. Judo contributes greatly to the philosophical principles taught and continuing contribution to the construction of a new society safe and healthy 2 ...

1 Hence the interest and importance to be accorded to the formation of the educator in the sense off tarnished. because fishing educator often for lack training and Master of applied psychological action for children under 12 years.

Grades Of Judoka (Belts, Kyus & Dans)
Finally talking about the last piece of clothing judoka.
The Wearing Belt Of Judoka
This is an accessory that is both useful and honorable: the belt. It is what keeps the size of the judogi jacket .. It is made of heavy canvas. Its width is approximately 4 cm and a length of approximately 2 m. It has no loop. Here's how to fix it: After swiveling the two sides of the jacket one over the other, enter the belt in the middle and place it on the navel (Figure 3). Then go both bands behind his back, cross them on the kidneys and bring them on either side of the body forward (Figure 4). Both ends must be of equal length. Knot them in the middle of the abdomen by a flat knot (fig.5).
And here you are ready to get to know judo!
The belt is also the « Grades » of judoka. In Japan, as elsewhere, all education is distributed by « levels » of knowledge and control. In judo, there are six « classes » for the beginner and ten levels for the advanced student.
When you begin the study of judo, you receive a belt ... just to hold your judogi: it is then white. You are considered a 6th class (or kyu in Japanese).
As and as you assimilate the techniques and you become expert in combat, you pass successively 5th, 4th, 3th, 2th and 1thr kyu. In Japan, you are authorized, from the 3th kyu to leave your white belt to the locker room and bring a brown belt. In Europe, Mikonosuke
Kaiwashi, for educational reasons specific to Western students, created the differently colored belt system for each kyu .. This is how the neophyte, after two or three months of the expiry trans dojo, Volt will grant the 5th kyu: he receives from his teacher yellow belt.
Later it every step of kyu, he was successively assign belts orange, green, blue and finally brown. From then, it is more serious candidate for the title of « student advance » (there a few years ago, we said Europe « expert »!). The candidate must then pass serious competition from a very severe examination and finally come before. his superiors, who judge according to his character, his « Judo pass » and other elements. Having succeeded his tests, he gets the famous black belt!
The Process Of Upgrading At Judoka
There are 10 more years, a black belt in Europe was, in terms judo, as well as self-defense or in any other battle mode (force or ground control), the « ne plus ultra ». Today, we get closer over the Japanese reality. Being black belt certainly a performance. Is not willing. It takes a lot of courage to get there. But this is only a first step towards mastery. Indeed, the black belts have levels (dan in Japanese) to climb. There theoretically ten Dans of judo.
When a black belt passes his « pass exams » she was promoted to black belt 1th dan. Then, by training seriously, passing tests after tests, it will access the grade of 2th Dan and then 3th, 4th, 5th, etc ... Since there is no perfection in this world: no limit the grades. It is therefore possible that a 10th dan through diligent practice, reaches a perfection that she be granted the 11th dan. Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, was given the title « Shihan » posthumously. It was equivalent under 12th dan.
Until this point, all the « grades » are a black belt in training and competition. But when the owner of a 6th, 7th or 8th dan attends as an arbitrator or guest of honor in the judo event (championship, gala, conference, etc ...), he wears a red belt with white section. Beyond the 8th dan, the gala belt turns red. For the 12th dan, it is considered that the holder of an extraordinary distinction has reached such a level that exceeds any class. He then returned to « the source » and wears a white belt. But to some neophytes are not mistaken (!), The latter
is twice as wide as the beginner.
Before finishing, it may be useful to say (so you can avoid any disappointment) that a life entirely devoted to judo hardly enough to achieve the highest grades. Only exceptionally gifted and tough things can happen. Two or three years of hard work is the minimum required to achieve 1st dan; Then, the training time for each level gradually increases. Here, for each grade, the times necessary: 2th dan: 6 months; 3th dan: 1 year; 4th Dan: 1 year; 5th dan: 2 years; 6th dan: 5 years. Is about 12 years in total to reach the 6th dan ... provided it is an exceptional champion, beat all opponents in special competitions and pass exams more difficult! If the steps are respectively 2, 3, 4,5,6 and 9, whether 33 years for the 6th dan only.
Beyond, the grades are less dependent competitions, although it is always demand excellent shape. The criteria are: the high moral judoka, his understanding of the higher principles of judo, its contribution to development, improvement or dissemination of judo. If you start judo at age 15, do you feel so happy to reach 6th dan 50 years ... unless you are a champion, of course. As for the higher grades and since there are 10th in there never was alive two or three at a time. What let dreamer, given that Japan alone,. account 300000 black belts.
Tatami And Judogi
Before going further, talking about the technical secrets of judo and teaching. As for its practice and his mastery, you will find in the section, «Training» in the future articles.
needless to say that theoretical knowledge is not enough: we must study and practice with different partners and repeat thousands of times each take.
The Dojo
You already know a number of Japanese terms (judo, ju-jitsu, Kodokan, etc.). It is customary in most sports, to use the words of the country of origin. (Examples: goal, penalty, time, break, play, etc.). Then do the same, Do not be surprised to hear a strong judo declare yourself: «Yesterday on the tatami dojo, I tore my judogi performing Tai Sabaki during randori with a third dan who wanted me to go uchi-mata» Does this sound barbaric? Every beginner who enters for the first kings in a judo hall is this reflection. But soon, it uses it himself a lot of terms its partners teach him, along with the movements. After three months, everything neophyte may turn pale with astonishment a real Japanese!
But let us see what is a dojo.
Do the term means «way» and the term jo designating a specific place, dojo means «the place or the way we study» or «place of the way»; It is a term of Buddhist origin. The meditation room of some Buddhist temples called dojo. It is also the name of the room or studying a martial art.
Practically, Europe, dojo is used for «club». In fact, modern judo club includes a shower room, a cloakroom, a gym, a living room (bar, library) and ... the dojo (room or studying judo). Ideally, it is a large room, where the soil is covered with a huge carpet. The walls are bare, very clear. Sometimes there hang a photo or two judo techniques: a nice projection, for example. In the center of the wall facing the entrance are fixed one or more symbolic emblems: cherry blossom, a samurai sword, the photo of Jigoro Kano or kakemono (Japanese painting that rolls on a bamboo).
In all, there emerges an austerity climate, profound peace, an atmosphere conducive to the study and serious research. During training, the silence is required and only when required is felt, is questioned or are answered without raising your voice too. A correct and clean attire is required. Any carelessness is prohibited. A master judge penny wind his students their behavior in the dojo. If spectators are allowed, they are asked not to smoke, to discover and to also remain silent. When the dojo was held in this way, it is natural that the judoka soon considered a place of meditation, like an oasis out of the noise.
Besides, how to design a different atmosphere for this exciting ascent to self-control?
The Tatamis
To practice judo at ease, must be able to fall on ground .. pretty welcoming. It must be flexible, elastic and can not cause, in case of falls, no injuries or other trauma. We have seen that the ground at the dojo, is covered with a huge carpet. It is actually a very large solid canvas, under which is a layer of a few centimeters of felt, straw or other material capable to amortize falls.
This device remains very good for a beginner, but it tends more and more to be replaced by a more efficient way. Why? Because we find that these carpets were too soft. lily curbed the speed of movement, weakening relaxing the movements and poorly deadened violent falls. Make yourself the experience: run quickly a dance step on a floor, then try it on a mattress. You will agree that a too soft soil is far from ideal for judo, it is impossible to work on a floor: it would be ideal for the attacker, but the hospital would be to attack. The ideal solution is halfway: is the tatami. The word denotes the mat that covers the floor of any home Japanese. It is made of braided hemp or linen, sometimes rice straw; it is often covered with a clear canvas. Its dimension is standard: about one meter by two meters. These mats laid end to end, create an intimate atmosphere and clean. Are thinking we take off our shoes when entering a Japanese house.
Note in passing that the tatami is used in Japan as a surface measurement. We say: «My room is twelve tatami» or «We have rented an thirty-six tatami apartment», etc.
With regard judo, European clubs employ more tatami factories especially in the Empire of the Rising Sun. lily measure 1.90 m to 0.95 m and a thickness of 6 cm. Lily are made of rice straw sorted, cut and sewn presses in a hessian wrap, covering or better vinyl. The mats are placed one beside the other and held on the outside by a frame. The assembly may be placed either on a fixed floor, or (which is preferred) on a resilient floor mounted on spring or rubber. What is the advantage of such a device? Judo becomes faster, more nervous, more explosive; can take advantage of the finer techniques. And it does not spoil anything, falls are better damped despite the drought of the early impression. Physiologically, the distribution of the shock wave is more homogeneous, the beginner will be resulting in small drops, he will prefer probably fall on a carpet, which receives like a comfortable cushion. But, as he advances in his initiation, falls become more important. it is then found at the time of impact, the vibration of the shock must be disseminated quickly on a large surface, their dispersion attenuating the backlash. But on softer carpet the shock wave is concentrated at the point of impact.
The judogi
As a fight "real" is waged between opponents dressed, judo takes this into account. Judokas are not fighting in jersey, but dressed in trousers and a jacket. Fighting techniques are also influenced largely by the garment, even to the point of use as a means of attack (I speak in a later article). But fight close combat coated with a ordinary clothes, could be very expensive: the garment will tear at the first tussle. It was therefore necessary to design special equipment for judo: the judogi or keikogi. These words mean respectively «judo suit» and «training suit » In Japan, on-the employs one for the other. The pants are very solid white canvas. There is ample, no knobs or zipper. A cord passes into a behind the scenes along the belt, order to fix the pants waist (fig.1). The jacket is woven into a thicker, stronger even than the canvas pants. Moreover, it is generally reinforced collar, armpits and other parties susceptible to tearing. It is white and has no button or other locking system (Fig.2). Judoka puts this outfit by keeping him a slip. On the carpet, it will evolve barefoot, they play a very important role not only for displacements and detents, but also for countless outlets. The foot of a trained judoka is besides always perfectly muscled.
