The Budokwai and Playsport Summer Course
During the course of the Summer the Budokwai ran a six week course which provided free Judo lessons designed specifically for young people (17+) with learning difficulties.
Generously funded by Playsport, the programme was able to supply instruction by a senior member of the Budokwai Coaching staff, and a judogi and licence for each student. These classes prepared them for their assessment and grading (BJA 6th Kyu Grade) which they took on the last lesson.
The Playsport scheme recognized that the enjoyment of Judo should reach right across the Community, and it’s versatility as a sport catering to all, was put to practice. In the hope that these classes become a regular event our Budokwai students might, one day, be future players at the Special Olympics!
