Mini Warriors (School Years 2–4)

Balance, Bravery, and Bushidō Basics.
A playful and purposeful start for children in School Years 2–4. This class builds core physical literacy—balance, coordination, and safe falling—while introducing the values of judo through games, basic techniques, and plenty of encouragement. Every Mini Warrior leaves class a little stronger in mind and body.

Paul is an excellent teacher who combines fun, fitness, technique and practice to develop a love of judo in his students - in my case my two sons. He is very patient with the children who learn but will also push them to develop their skills (and their character) and demonstrate and correct their technique as appropriate. I couldn't speak more highly of it.
