The course highlights the origins and early development of judo in relation to societal influences at the time. It follows the progression of judo from its founding principles and its modern history, and the role that the challenges of historical and contemporary society play in its current form. The potential of judo to contribute to sustainability development as outlined in the UN 2030 Agenda is also discussed. The course examines the general physical and biomechanical principles behind the various techniques performed in judo, and the basic didactic models for knowledge transfer in relation to these techniques are described, analysed, put into practice and discussed. Short term planning of judo training is addressed and problematised, and central aspects of safety in judo training and competition are specified and discussed.
