Course Detail

Course Overview

The IMAC Judo Academy Program

Learn judo systematically, safely, and in a way you can keep developing. Judo is not just a way of throwing an opponent; it teaches balance, body control, discipline, etiquette, and decision-making under pressure, so good training has to start from correct fundamentals and progress step by step.

IMAC Judo Academy is IMAC Dojo's judo program. Its training structure is clearly laid out, based on the approach of Kodokan Judo in Japan and adapted for teaching in our dojo, so students grow steadily from beginner to higher levels in technique, safety, etiquette, grading, and competition preparation.

Private Judo Lessons in Bangkok

Private judo lessons run Monday to Thursday, 14:00 to 20:00, at the dojo near Ladprao 101 in Bangkapi. Sessions are 1,000 THB per hour, with each additional student 200 THB, up to four people in one session.

Private lessons suit a beginner who would rather learn ukemi without a class watching, a student preparing for grading, anyone whose schedule does not fit the Saturday or Sunday group classes, and small groups such as a family or two friends who want to train together.

The instructors teaching judo hold judo dan grades, and the private format lets one of them correct your falling, gripping and entry in detail rather than across a full class. Message IMAC DOJO on LINE with the student's age, experience and preferred times to arrange a slot.

  • Monday to Thursday, 14:00 - 20:00, by arrangement
  • 1,000 THB per hour; each additional student 200 THB, maximum four
  • Suits beginners, grading preparation, and schedules that miss the group classes
  • Same dojo and same instructors as the group programme

Highlights of the IMAC Judo Academy Program

This course is designed so students can see clear progress. Training is not scattered; it moves from fundamentals toward real application in a clear sequence.

  • Learn Judo from essential fundamentals in a structured way
  • Emphasize Ukemi falling skills for safer training
  • Develop both standing throws, Tachi-waza, and groundwork techniques, Katame-waza / Ne-waza
  • Clear learning structure from Level 1-7
  • Supports grading preparation and progression toward higher levels
  • Suitable for beginners, children, teenagers, and adults who want to train seriously

Essential Foundations Students Will Learn

Good Judo training begins with the roots of the art. Correct fundamentals make later training safer, more accurate, and easier to develop.

Students learn the core of judo training: its history and basic principles, dojo etiquette, standing postures, gripping the judo gi, balance breaking, and judo footwork.

  • History and basic principles of Judo
  • Dojo etiquette
  • Standing and seated bowing on the mat
  • Standing postures: Shizentai and Jigotai
  • Left and right Judo gripping, Kumi-kata
  • Balance breaking, Kuzushi
  • Footwork: Ayumi Ashi, Tsugi Ashi, and Suri Ashi

Falling Skills (Ukemi)

Falling correctly is at the heart of learning judo: it lowers the risk of injury and gives students more confidence in training. For beginners, especially children and people who have never trained before, a solid Ukemi foundation is a very important starting point.

  • Ushiro Ukemi: falling backward
  • Yoko Ukemi: falling to the left and right
  • Mae Ukemi / Mae Mawari Ukemi: falling forward and rolling

  • Randori practice
  • Competition practice under real rules
  • Applying judo techniques for self-defense
  • Black belt (Dan grade) testing preparation

Judo Training Progress and Review

Students are encouraged to review each level before moving forward so the foundation stays clear.

The instructor checks posture, gripping, balance breaking, entry direction, and safety awareness during training.

Progress is measured through consistency, not only by memorizing a list of techniques.

This helps students, parents, and adult learners understand what needs attention between classes.

  • Review before moving up
  • Posture and grip correction
  • Consistent safety habits
