SYLLABUS

·        Ukemi -- falling techniques
·        Tachi-Waza -- throwing techniques
·        Ne-Waza -- mat techniques

Each student will also learn basic terminology, philosophy, and the physical fitness training involved in the Olympic sport of judo.

The primary goal of this class is for the student to develop a life long program for physical fitness. It is the purpose of this class to expose each student to the lifetime sport of judo and its traditions. Judo, by design, is to make the world a better place to live.

As an introductory level class that teaches a life-long sport or art, techniques will be introduced to the students. Objectives and assessment will be based on demonstrating a basic understanding of a technique. Upon completion of this class the student will:

·        Be able to correctly demonstrate an understanding of the different types of falling techniques
·        Be able to correctly demonstrate an understanding of throwing techniques covered in class.
·        Be able to correctly demonstrate an understanding of mat techniques covered in class.
·        Be able to successfully pass a written and practical exam on the generalities and terminology introduced regarding the sport of judo.

OUTCOMES:

·        Students will demonstrate to the class and instructor on an on-going basis an understanding of techniques during class through practical application.
·        Students will be grouped in three people with two demonstrating and the third critiquing the technique.
·        Written and oral reviews of topics will be performed to check for understanding.
·        Students will be observed doing ukemi and evaluated on an on-going basis while performing independently.
·        Students will be observed executing tachi-waza and ne-waza and evaluated on an on-going basis while performing with another student.
·        Areas that require teaching again will be done in a different manner to be more effectively communicated to the student; teacher observation will occur after the re-teaching to check for understanding.

Participation required includes work at the CSI Judo Championships as a scorekeeper, assisting tournament officials, setup and takedown, or competitor. The minimum allotted time is 2 hours. Setup is from 1pm to 5pm on Friday, April 7^th; Championships are from 9am to 7pm on Saturday, April 8^th; takedown will be immediately following the Championships.

Note: Extra credit can be obtained by attending a judo tournament or clinic either as a spectator, staff, or competitor. Tournaments and clinics are usually on Saturday or Sunday. Attending a tournament will make up for 2 missed classes. Reports on readings from approved texts or sites via the Internet. Each report is equivalent to ½ of a missed class.

Physical performance is not a criterion for evaluation. However, growth in physical ability and a demonstration of knowledge for the sport are evaluation criteria for the instructors and the students.

Students will conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Appropriate is defined as acceptable from the CSI administration, students, and faculty. Any behavior deemed inappropriate will not be tolerated. Language and bodily contact will be appropriate for the judo class. Inappropriate behavior will be grounds for review for removal from the judo class. A report will be filed with the CSI administration.

Positive interaction has been the norm for the class and the expectations are it will continue to be a fun learning experience for all.

INTERCLUB

A recommended, but optional judo gi can be rented for $10. A receipt is provided by the Student Activity Center located in the Taylor Building across from the bookstore. Your instructor will then issue you a gi for the semester. Proceeds go to the CSI Judo Interclub. The club money is used for the judo gi inventory, judo mats, travel to tournaments, and social events as funds allow.

As a student in the judo class, you are a member of the CSI Judo Club. Interclubs provide community service and leadership from the student body of CSI. We will elect a President, Vice-President, and Secretary to serve in those positions and attend the Interclub meetings. The Student Services Department will post meeting schedules, which are usually, two per month.

The judo philosophy of making the world a better place to live is key to the Interclub concept. The Spring semester brings the TF/CSI Judo Championships and several fund raisers; all activities in which we participate. These activities show good will to our community and provide a positive impact.

As a part of the student’s grade, specifically participation and attendance, students are required to participate in Interclub activities in preparation of events, serving as an officer, and/or working at the event.

FACILITIES

The judo dojo historically has been a place of study and is revered as a place of solitude. An atmosphere of study and learning is calm, clean, and productive.

The CSI judo class takes the traditions of the judo dojo and puts them into a classroom. When the judo mats are in place, we will regard it as our dojo.

1. We will place the judo mats or tatami on the floor before every practice.
2.      As a part of the tradition, we will bow to the mat when entering the dojo.
3.      We will bow when getting onto the mat.
4.      When off the mat, feet will be kept clean by using footwear.
5.      When on the mat, bare feet are appropriate, with health safety exceptions.
6.      We will keep ourselves and the dojo clean and safe

These are behaviors consistent with the sport of judo around the world. Other traditions will be taught during the class in the interest of learning judo.

As judo students, you have purchased access to the locker rooms and towel use. Locks and towels can be picked up at the gym main office from 8 am to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.

If you missed class, please contact your instructor to confirm the location of the next class session. At times we may meet at a different location. You are responsible to get the missed material from other students in class.
