We enquired by phone speaking to Simon regarding our 4 ½ year old son and the benefits of Judo. Simon was very professional and enthusiastic to answer our queries and offer for us to come and try.
Our first session was a very inclusive experience, our son was welcomed warmly and immediately wanted to participate.
Due care was taken for our son to be shown the exercises, being given a partner with observation and instructions provided by Simon.
Simon had all the children participating with huge smiles and laughter, enjoying their roles and engaging in playful Judo lesson.
Our only feedback would be, to maybe spend a little time with new kids & parents prior to the lesson to explain a little about Judo and the importance/relevance of some of the key Judo action undertaken at the beginning and end of the class. Also, with new children, have a demonstration of key activities which include them so that they can really understand the movements required to participate correctly.
Our son is looking forward to more classes, even though it does not seem to him like he is learning anything at this stage, just playing with other kids and having fun.
Overall as an initial introduction to Judo and local activity for children 4-6years old, I highly recommend contacting Simon and giving Aspire Judo a try.
