Mastering judo breakfalls, known as ukemi, is crucial for every judoka. When a practitioner learns to fall and roll safely, it significantly boosts their confidence in executing throws. This book not only teaches essential falling techniques but also helps improve overall throwing ability. It provides a comprehensive introduction to judo basics in a way that is accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

Here’s what young judokas can expect to learn:

This book is tailored for judokas aged 6 to 12, making it suitable for children at various stages of their judo journey. With four types of breakfalls covered, readers will learn how to fall and roll in different directions—forward, backward, and sideways. Mastering these techniques is essential for any aspiring judoka, as it not only ensures safety but also enhances agility.

Agility is a vital component of judo. The book includes ten engaging agility tests that help improve flexibility, coordination, balance, and movement skills. These exercises are designed to be fun, ensuring that young learners stay motivated while developing essential skills. The more agile a judoka is, the harder they are to throw, making these tests invaluable for their training.

Additionally, ‘Learn Judo Breakfalls & 10 Agility Tests’ features a fun section highlighting some of the beloved Koka Kids characters, including Uchi Banani and Blushido. Young readers can enjoy learning about their favorite characters while reading fact files and discovering their preferred judo techniques.

This engaging and visually appealing book makes learning judo accessible for children, fostering a love for the sport while teaching them vital skills. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to refine their techniques, this book is an excellent resource for any young judoka.
