When you begin your club, you will be more successful in recruiting and keeping students if you can provide them organized information about judo, your club and your expectations. Thanks to Jeff Miller of Acadian Judo Club, we have some unbelievably helpful resources for you.

The Junior Handbook DOC / PDF is a 45-page guide that explains everything from terms used in judo to the rules of the dojo to judo ranks. I think any instructor could modify this for use in his or her dojo.
Senior handbook DOC / PDF - Of course, Coach Miller, who could organize a train wreck in fifteen minutes flat, ALSO has a senior handbook.

Life Skills demonstration - DOC / PDF This is an amazingly cool idea. For each rank, Acadian Judo Instructor Jeff Miller requires a "life skill" to be demonstrated, such as courtesy, cooperation, personal responsibility. Leave this. You'll love it. I did.

Life Skills evaluation is a form completed by the teacher or parent that recommends a young person for promotion based on having demonstrated the required life skills. Click here for any of the forms for
