Different classes and activities

Budo Gouweleeuw is aimed at recreational sport. This means we try to explore as many facets of judo and jiu jistu as possible. We offer classes focused on competition, by also form and technical execution. We organize workshops and exchanges that let you become acquainted with other (budo) sports and budokas. You shall see that every club has their own ways of doing things! Continuing this, we also attach a great deal of value on social development and the association-life. At Budo Gouweleeuw, you can participate in various (budo) activities, ranging from centralized exams to a fox hunt or movie night. We think it is important that everybody should be able to participate in budo sports. It is therefore we offer judo lessons for specific target audiences.

Tumble-judo

Kids can’t sit still. Trough movement they develop their motor skills, which will reap a life-worth of profit. Specially for the youngest, we at Budo Gouweleeuw added toddler judo to the lessons program. Your toddler will be playfully introduced to the core principles of movement.

Who is tumble-judo meant for?
Tumble-judo is for all boys and girls age 2 or 3 years old. In an open-aired environment toddlers will learn to move and fall in a safe and secure manner. This slinks the fear of hurting oneself. By means of a judo-derived method, kids will learn to deal with physical contact. Tumble-judo is thus something that is done together. By moving together, trust is built and respectful interaction with peers is promoted. Children with performance anxiety will receive self-confidence and -esteem. Very active children will learn to contain and use their energy in a better way. For the tumble-judo class children can flow-through to another judo group.

Parent(s)
As a parent you can participate with your toddler in tumble-judo. It is necessary to not wear any jewelry or other sharp objects (such as belts) on the mat. This is beneficial to the safety of both yourself and your toddler. Jeans are forbidden, as these can damage the mat. We also request you to at least wear long sports trousers and a T-shirt (no sleeveless shirt or top).
