The author initiates and practices process of teaching and learning in basic training beginners judo, using judo games as a means to fully develop the physical characteristics and layout of racing skills

Principles of Judo Training as an Organised Form of Physical Activity for Children

“…Children very much enjoy these games as they are motivating and receive praise when they correctly perform technique. Lukanova [ 32 ] and Masenko [ 33 ] describe judo training based on games and activities. According to these authors, training based on selected games should last between 24 and 45 min in total.…”

“…However, short task games based on performing a single exercise should not be longer than 30–60 s, with a maximum of 3–5 repetitions. Simultaneously, the duration of longer games with a more complex exercise structure is 3–10 min with a similar number of repetitions [ 32 , 33 ]. In a recent report, Pereira et al [ 31 ] present the systematisation of games through a network of complex connections.…”

“…Additionally, movement games and physical activities with judo elements are recommended as an exciting form of training for children [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. The advantage of games and activities are that they simultaneously develop physical fitness while teaching the elements of judo, encourage the solving of problem situations during a game, and provide pleasure and satisfaction.…”
