The “Instructor” course provides the participant with knowledge to teach the technical, physical, mental, social and other aspects of judo. The course prepares the participant to be a club instructor and be responsible for providing judoka with the basic physical literacy skills with emphasis on children under the age of 14, judo skills as described in the Judo Canada syllabus, and to introduce young judoka to competition.
