The boys and girls in grades 5 and 6 are excited: It\u2019s about to begin. But first, they need to get ready: \u201cTake off your jewelry, watches, and earrings,\u201d calls out Yves Pasquay, the coach. In the new judo class, he wants to start by practicing falls with the students. It\u2019s the second training session. <\/p>\n

They can do judo just like the big kids\u2014the boys and girls took to the mat with certain images in their minds. It\u2019s called the \u201ctrial phase,\u201d and it\u2019s been offered weekly since November 1 through Christmas\u2014including for third and fourth graders. \u201cChin to your chest and roll backward,\u201d Yves wants to see. The exercises are going great. Everyone is having fun. <\/p>\n

“New gym\u2014new sport.” Dirk Konnertz, principal of Steinm\u00fchle School, is delighted with the new program at Steinm\u00fchle, which he planned together with Markus Zaumbrecher, the judo coach at Blista. This is only possible through cooperation: \u201cWe built the new gym for ourselves and our partners, and offering judo to our students is a project close to our hearts.\u201d <\/p>\n

Yves Pasquay is a children\u2019s and youth coach in the judo division of the Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg club. The club is also home to the state training center \u201cJudo for the Visually Impaired and Blind,\u201d where Yves also serves as a coach. \u201cThe fact that we can benefit from his skills is a huge advantage for us,\u201d says Konnertz. \u201cSportfreunde Blau-Gelb trains at the Steinm\u00fchle alongside the Unified team and several girls\u2019 teams. It\u2019s a win-win situation.\u201d <\/p>\n

A sport for boys and girls<\/strong><\/p>\n

The children are fascinated by this Japanese martial art. There are roughly equal numbers of boys and girls. They\u2019re learning a judo roll and how to break their fall. Special attention is given to \u201cprofessional leg sweeps.\u201d They\u2019re also practicing the hold. Pinning the training partner to the ground simulates victory over the \u201cattacker\u201d\u2014the goal has been achieved. <\/p>\n

The young martial artists quickly get the hang of how best to practice. Yves is in charge of the details and the finishing touches; he provides guidance, offers help, and shares tips. In the blink of an eye, the class is already over. The second day of judo practice is over. See you again next week! Meanwhile, the 3rd and 4th graders are already getting ready in the locker rooms. They, too, are looking forward to their second practice session. <\/p>\n
