GORNAVETHIL Judo Training Q&A
1. What is the best age to start Judo training?
Judo can be started by children as young as 4 years old. However, the ideal age to start is around 6 to 8 years, when children have developed basic motor skills and social interaction abilities.
2. How often should I train to see progress?
For beginners, attending Judo classes at least 2 to 3 times a week is recommended. Consistent practice is key to improvement.
3. Is Judo safe for everyone?
Judo is generally safe when practiced under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Wearing appropriate gear, such as the Judo gi and mats, helps minimize risks.
4. What should I wear to my first class?
A comfortable Judo gi is ideal; however, for your first class, you can wear a plain t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms. Bare feet are standard in the dojo.
5. How long does it take to earn a black belt?
Earning a black belt in Judo can take anywhere from 6 to 10 years of dedicated practice and progression through the belt ranks.
