G'day all,
We live in East Coast area (Siglap) and are looking for a Judo club for our 9 yr old boy and 6 yr old girl. Any suggestion please?
Appreciate your time!

Does it have to be specifically judo? Or would any other regimented martial art do?relaxrolex wrote:G'day all,

Thank you for the info.Aragorn2000 wrote:Judo is a practical, efficient self-defense art, but there are some risks you may want to consider:
Most of the risks are related to incorrect throws and breakfalls:
1. The sparring partner could possibly perform a half-baked throw resulting in your child slam her head into the tatami leading to head/neck injuries or even worst, total paralysis.
2. Even if throws are perform correctly and breakfalls are engaged beautifully, enduring breakfalls every day can lead to more subtle injuries: organ damage, retinal detachment (leading to blindness) or posterior vitreous detachment (seeing flies/bubbles/floating objects in the eyes; a benign but very annoying condition; it persists for the rest of the sufferer's life).
The problem is that most Judo instructors know nothing about sports injuries. They would give very little consideration to this issue in their teaching syllabus.

Yeah, it's most incomplete but they should be able to point you in the right direction.
