Another great kids' judo class. Today we had 8 kids participating and 1-2 running amok. We warmed up, worked on 1-sided shrimping and crawling like an inchworm. Then we played kneeling knockdown, practiced snapdowns from kneeling, and played tug of war trying to pull a partner across a goal line. I also showed them how to make the other guy sit down when he pulls too hard. Then we cooled down by having them line up and I fotswept each of them twice with deashibarai. We got to reinforce the idea of landing with your butt first and keeping hands out from under you.
