Students will develop and learn specific Judo skills building Judo knowledge.
Learn the 3 basic principles of throwing.
-Kuzushi - Off balance.
-Tsukuri - The entry or fit in
-Kake - The execution or throw/finish
To complete a Judo throw all 3 parts must come together. Not that easy, but with training and determination you will be successful.
Students will also learn the basics for understanding newaza (groundwork).
They will learn the basic osaekomiwaza (pinning techniques and escapes).
Students will learn the various techniques for proper uchikomi (fitting in or muscle memory skills).
In the intermediate class the student will learn the second principle of judo:

Seiryoku Zenyo - Maximum efficiency with minimum effort.

-Technique and skill overcome brute strength
-To use your opponents force against them
To complete the intermediate level, the student must pass a written and practical test promoting the student to Yellow Belt. (Promotion to Yellow Belt does not automatically mean the student is ready for the Advanced Class)

NOTE REGARDING PROMOTIONS AND ADVANCEMENT INTO THE NEXT CLASS: Judo is an individual sport/activity. Everyone must progress at his/her own pace according to his/her abilities. There is no set time limit on when a student reaches the next level. When the student demonstrates the required level of proficiency is when the student can advance.
