Wee Warriors

Wee Warriors is a Judo based program for young kids aged 5 and up. In addition to fun and games that help build general coordination and movement skills, kids will learn ukemi (break falls), gymnastics, as well as trips and throws that are foundational to Judo.

Additionally, learning Judo helps to build confidence and self esteem through physical challenges and a supportive learning environment. It also gives kids an opportunity to engage in competitive sparring that is, most importantly, safe and focused on mutual benefit rather than results.

Through Judo, children are exposed to basic elements of Japanese language and culture. This is an excellent way for kids to learn etiquette, focus, respect and discipline.
