A very warm welcome to Kodomo Dojo and Kaizen Kai.
We are based at Forrest Hill School, Auckland, New Zealand. We have two clubs within our Kodomo Dojo Incorporated Society.
Kodomo Dojo focuses on movement skills to build a strong physical foundation of coordination and confidence in young students 4 years to 12 years old.
Kaizen Kai is our Judo community group at Forrest Hill School, dedicated to daily improvement in martial arts, and the shared vision with Kodomo Dojo of nurturing growth for a lifetime of learning.
KODOMO Dojo
Kodomo Dojo helps students develop the basic skills of movement. In every class, we combine fun physical activity with the essential skills they need to stay fit and healthy for life
“Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.”
We recognize that learners bring different skills to the tatami and we have a variety of equipment and activities to engage and give the students a choice in how they develop their skills. We utilise a variety of equipment including hoops, balls, belts, socks, yoga balls, to move our feet, legs, and bodies - all great activities to take into other sports. And of course, break falls - and being confident to fall to the tatami - are a part of every session - in some way!
We welcome students from 4 years to 12 years - Primary and Intermediate age.
Our training sessions are as follows.
Junior - Primary : Tuesday 5pm to 6pm
Intermediate: Tuesday 6pm to 7pm
Kodomo means children in Japanese.
