Even for children who are not naturally gifted when it comes to judo, the structure of the typical judo lesson is build to recognise improvement. Kids can gain confidence and self-esteem from working on and improving at their judo. Children at a certain age start to become conscious of their physical wellbeing, and for this reason the physical benefits of judo exercise can be very beneficial. Not to mention, children who stick to physical activity outside of school develop healthier habits. Judo teaches children the benefits of disciplined practice and technique. While specific application will be for judo, this sort of discipline is also a general habit that a child can learn, and which can be applied to school and other parts of life.
More important than just building a better athlete, sports should build a better person. Judo in particular, develops discipline, manners, punctuality, strength, stamina, tenacity, toughness and confidence — all character traits that are essential to success and respected by society. Society also respects a person who wins with humility and loses with grace.
