At Hanabi, as we jump and spin we develop balance, coordination and confidence. And we have fun! We start out learning our names in Japanese then do movement exercises and some simple judo techniques that teach us to fall safely. We place a strong emphasis on culture so everyone speaks, and sings, in the language of Japan. We learn to “nete” (lie down) and to “tonde” (leap) like a “raion” (lion).
Judo allows a smaller person to control an opponent bigger and stronger than themselves. We practice throws where our opponent can be flipped upside down – on our jackets.
Hanabi means "Fireworks" in Japanese and its energy, color and excitement express the spirit of our judo.
