If it’s as quiet as a mouse in the sports hall of the Heine-Gymnasium, judo is the order of the day. 20 fifth graders and a teacher are currently getting to know Japanese martial arts in a working group, including belt tests and competitions. The offer has a long tradition at the Heine-Gymnasium.
Ag-Leiter knows how school and martial arts go together Holger Cornels: “In terms of judo, that fits very well,” knows the deputy headmaster – himself a martial artist for 40 years. “Judo – in English ‘the gentle way’ – was developed almost 150 years ago not only as a martial art from Jiu-Jitsu, but also as a system of values and education for young people.” Judo conveys values such as politeness, respect, tolerance and consideration and courage. Even hyperactive students calm down with judo, introverts and shy people quickly have a sense of achievement and leave the training stronger. “It’s about being better than yesterday,” he explains, a philosophy that makes young people in particular question their personal attitude towards performance orientation in school and society. von
