Judo Camp 2011
Band of Angels is committed to inclusive fitness programs for individuals with Down syndrome and other cognitive impairments. We provide opportunities to acquire skills that last long after the training program.
This year, we are working towards offering Judo training in Southeast Michigan. This program will be available to persons with cognitive disabilities in addition to their friends and siblings providing an inclusive camp experience.
In the process of developing this program, we have learned a great deal about Judo and are convinced it will be a wonderful way to provide lasting skills and relationships. Judo is many things to different people. It is a fun sport, an art, a discipline, a recreational or social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense, and a way of life. Judo also stresses balance, timing, conditioning and cooperation with a partner.
Once the student has completed Judo camp, there will be instructors and facility arrangements in place for year round training.
Program Objective
Provide a safe, secure, fun and lifelong physical exercise with modifications for persons with special needs.
Specifically, the camp will provide:
- The opportunity for physical exercise

- Learn how to fall safely

- Teach basic judo drills and skills; for both sport and practical self defense
