In training

From the very first, new judo players are taught the importance of safety on the judo mat.

Most importantly, a novice judo player learns to follow the coach's instructions and to respond to the call of "Matte" (stop) and to pay attention to what's happening on the mat around them.

The coach will ensure that her players develop correct and safe throwing techniques, as well as learning how to be thrown safely. The throwing techniques that are taught are carefully selected to match the age and skills of the players.

Players are instructed not to attempt a technique that they haven't been trained to perform correctly.
