What does it take to make a good video tutorial for coaches? Two cameras, a group of young judokas between 8-12 years old and EJU Expert Katanishi Hiroshi, that’s what. Katanishi is an 8th Dan and the major protagonist and Head of the project. In his home club, the Judo Kwai in Lausanne, the team filmed the last part of the uchi-mata series.
The videos are an additional service for the EJU project ‘Improve your Club’. These IYC seminars are made for judo club coaches to assist in education of young judoka aged 8 – 12 years. The seminar is only a part, EJU Vice President Jane Bridge explains, of the idea behind the video project.
“EJU Experts have developed these video projects to support the IYC seminars. These unique set of videos should help coaches during the daily training process. The videos are showing the full range of techniques with progression from ukemi to ne waza and it should help coaches to consult.”
8 techniques are already published, and altogether there will be a library of 139 videos.
