Skill 1 - First Things First
Learn to tie your belt and trousers

During a judo practice, you will find that your belt and sometimes your trousers, may become loose or even untied. It is important that you learn to retie them quickly and properly, so that you can carry on with the practice

Skill 2 - Breakfalls
Forward roll & Side breakfall

Your coach will teach you how to throw, and be thrown safely. Learning how to land properly using a 'breakfall' is very important skill

Skill 3 - Gripping skill
Sleeve and Lapel grip

Before you can throw your partner you must take hold of their judo jacket.
There are many different throws, but the 'sleeve and lapel grip' is one of the best, specially when you are starting to learn judo. Make sure that your partner also takes the 'sleeve and lapel' grip, before you practice a throw

Skill 4 - Skill Drill
