Curriculum

The curriculum for each age group is based on the grade syllabus of the Judo Federation of Australia.

In each case, additional material is presented to make sure that all members are given a rounded education in the full range of judo knowledge, techniques, strategies and training methodology.

Thus, all Kata are taught, including those of the Kodokan Women's division.   Various wrist projections and locks, leglocks, striking techniques and short staff exercises are also covered in the senior class.

Below are links to our curriculum notes for grading in each of the standard Judo Federation of Australia age groups (age at 30 December).
As you will see they cover a great range of information and act as memory joggers to reinforce class instruction.
Students are also provided with a list of recommended judo books.
