Course Detail
Course Overview
Structured Judo Training
This course is structured from fundamentals toward practical application. It emphasizes dojo etiquette, body balance, gripping, footwork, and balance breaking before students progress into throwing techniques and groundwork control.
Students train step by step so they understand how to use technique instead of relying on strength alone.
Training Structure
Students begin with falling skills, entry into basic throws, holds and locks, then gradually progress toward more complex techniques according to their level.
- Ukemi: back falls, side falls, and rolling falls
- Tachi-waza: basic to advanced throwing techniques
- Katame-waza / Ne-waza: groundwork control and locking techniques
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
