Matthew has been watching us teaching, and making reels, and apparently decided it was his turn. 😂

So here he is, making his own takedown instructional.

With both parents holding black belts in both Judo and BJJ, take-downs are in his blood 😂

There’s a bit of psychology behind it, too. Kids learn an enormous amount by watching and copying the people around them. If the people they look up to spend their time learning, practising, teaching and enjoying being active, those behaviours can start to feel pretty normal.

Apparently, in Matthew’s case, that includes producing instructional videos before he’s old enough to pay his own membership. 🤣

Monkey see, monkey do. Except this monkey wants to teach the takedowns.

This review sums up everything we hope Combat Base Wakefield can be for families; a welcoming place where children feel comfortable, grow in confidence and enjoy learning.

Thank you, Andrew, for such kind words. It’s lovely to hear that Oscar is enjoying his Judo and settling in so well.

If you’re thinking of trying a class for your child, message us about our 7-day free trial!

“I’d love to train, but I can’t leave the kids.”

We hear you. Childcare costs money, grandparents have lives of their own, and finding an hour for yourself when you have young children can feel like organising a military operation.

We’re not going to tell you to try harder, get up at 5am or magically find another three hours in the day.

Sometimes, the answer is more simple. Bring the kids.

At Combat Base Wakefield, we offer Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for children and adults, plus family-friendly training options.

Your children can learn, play and develop new skills. You can train too, and sometimes you can do it together.

You don’t have to choose between being a parent and doing something for yourself.

And no, you don’t have to get fit before you start. That’s rather the point of training.

We train seven days a week, with classes in the mornings, at lunchtime, in the afternoons and evenings, so there’s a better chance of finding something that works around family life.

If childcare has been the reason you’ve put training off, come and have a chat with us.

No pressure, no sales pitch, just a chance to see what’s possible.

Combat Base Wakefield — Judo and BJJ for real life.

MYTH BUSTERS No.18

“Judo is only for kids”

Apparently, when you turn 18, someone from the Judo Police turns up, takes your judogi and tells you it’s all over. Which is awkward news for the thousands of adults who train judo.

Judo is brilliant for kids, but it’s great for the adults that do it too.

In their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Yes, even people who remember when the internet made that funny dial-up noise.

Some train for fitness, to compete, to learn something new. Others just enjoy throwing other adults onto the floor in a perfectly controlled and consensual manner. We don’t judge.

And before you ask, No, you don’t need to be able to do a backflip, nor do you need to be able to touch your toes.

You just need to turn up, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Judo. Not just for kids.

Although, to be fair, the kids are usually considerably more flexible!

A few snippets from this past week!

From early mornings to late evening sessions, busy junior mats, and families training together. It’s great to see everyone working towards their goals and enjoying the process!

Well done to Donna on her second stripe and on his fourth. 👏

Thanks to everyone who joined us this week, see you on the mats next week!

Today Marc attended a Dima Murovanni - BJJ coach guard retention seminar at Gamefight Bradford, alongside some valuable discussion on coaching practice, and philosophy.

Developing as a coach is about more than learning techniques. It’s also about how you teach them, help people understand them, and progress.

It’s always good to learn from coaches around the world, and bring that knowledge back to our own mats to keep improving the coaching we deliver.

Thanks to Babar Raheem for hosting and bringing everyone together for a great afternoon of learning and discussion.

We asked a few of our juniors what they like about Jiu Jitsu…

“Better than Roblox” is quite a compliment. 😂

It’s lovely to hear what they enjoy about coming here, in their own words.
