JUDO GAMES
SPECIAL NEEDS JUDOKA LOVE JUDO GAMES AND LEARN QUICKER THROUGH PLAY
1. Using soft play equipment like pairs of flat rubber feet, these are ideal for breaking balance techniques. (Feet can be moved for different posture positions).
2/ Cloth ribbons tucked into the rear of the belt (catch the foxes tail), is another game well liked and improves the body movement of the student in a fun way.
3/ Another game well liked (footsies). Partners stand apart with their arms behind their back. On hajime they try to tap their partners toes with their toes (no stamping). A great game for movement over that tatami
4/ A good groundwork game is played with one partner lying on their back with feet raised, and the other partner standing behind their head. The aim of the game is for the partner standing, to try and tap the other partners right ankle or heft heel etc. The partner on their back must resist this, by movement of the legs away from the attackers hands. A great game for movement and confidence building in newaza.
These are just a small selection of games people with disabilities enjoy. As you can see, they prefer judo games, which is what they have joined the session for. The majority, when playing these games will not realise the benefits to their skills whilst playing games. They
will be having fun and enjoyment, which should be incorporated in all activities
