Description:

Coaching the Modernised BJA Dan Grade Syllabus – The aim of this course is to deliver, discuss and work with the technical requirement of British Judo’s ‘ Modernised BJA Dan Grade Syllabus’ in order that coaches can confidently prepare players for 1st to 5th Dan theory examinations. The course is split into 3 modules:

Module 1. Kodokan 100 Waza – The objective of this module is to ensure that all BJA Coaches have a good understanding of the Kodokan 100 Waza. We will discuss the classification of waza, look at the differences between closely resembled waza, and practice those waza that were not present in the previous BJA Dan Grade Syllabus (exploring both the Kodokan standards and contest variations).
Module 2. Coaching Fundamental Skills – The objective of this module is to ensure that all BJA Coaches are confident coaching fundamental judo skills. We will look at Nage-waza basics, discuss movement phases and key elements, and practice identifying and demonstrating coaching points for Nage-waza, Katame-waza and transistions.
Module 3. Coaching Performance Skills – The objective of this module is to ensure that all BJA Coaches are confident coaching performance skills. We will discuss coaching methods and styles to promote player creativity, and practice developing combinations, counters, transitions, complex entries and escapes.
