The signs are pointing to a new start for the judo department of Schwarz-Weiß Havixbeck, because it currently only has 40 active members. Around the year 2000 there were still around 100. The downward trend is now to be counteracted.
Reinhard Hübers, who died at the end of last year, headed the department for more than 30 years and continued to develop it with tireless commitment. Hübers shaped the lives of numerous people with his work. A motivated successor has now been found in Fabio Theissing. We are also looking for former judokas who take part in the training or support the coaching team.
Suffered from Corona
“My goal is above all to get children excited about club sports again,” Theissing has set himself some goals. According to the 20-year-old, the corona pandemic had a negative effect on the development of the club. Judo is something for everyone. “This sport is something for children with a great urge to move. But it is also a balance for people with little self-confidence,” explains the judoka, who has been a member of the club for eight years.
In training he has already seen some shy children and young people who have become more self-confident through group sport. “They are now much more communicative and have developed a lot of joy in judo.” The new head of department is also the contact person outside the gym and supports parents whose children do not yet know exactly which sporting path they should take.
Five judo coaches at SWH
Currently, the judo section has five coaches, who run a training session for five to ten year old children (Wednesday from 5 to 6.15 p.m.) and a group for ten to 23 year old athletes (Wednesday from 6.15 to 7.30 p.m.), each in the triple Offer gym.
“Of course, older people are also welcome to participate,” says Havixbecker, who wears the blue belt himself. The so-called fall school (which describes different types of falling that cause as little damage as possible, the ed.) is helpful for people of all ages, for example. The sport is also suitable for people with a handicap, since everyone can interact with everyone else in judo and thus experience mutual respect and support. Newcomers who have participated in the training for about six months can then take their first belt test.
Outside the department, the association also offers judo training in the form of a working group in cooperation with the open all-day school in Havixbeck. “The AG is also a great connection to club sports,” says the new head of department. SWH has already secured a number of permanent memberships.
Basic principles of judo
Judo, Japanese for “the gentle way”, is a way of physical training, but also has a philosophical background and is used for personal development. “It’s mutual help and understanding for mutual progress and well-being and the best possible use of body and mind,” Theissing explained the two basic principles of judo. Sport not only helps motor development, but also promotes self-control and discipline.
With the experienced Bertram Rulle, who has been working in the sector for forty years, he not only has a good coach at his side, but also someone who can prepare the athletes well for competitions, according to Theissing. Rulle is also “partly to blame” for becoming the head of the black and white department.
