The Judo Club SV Treffen has opened its training sessions to the public for the entire month of October, offering free introductory classes for anyone looking to learn the Japanese martial art. The club aims to attract individuals interested in general fitness as well as competitive sports.
Fallschule Teaches Safe Falling to Prevent Injuries
A central pillar of the club’s curriculum focuses on the “Fallschule,” or the school of falling. Learning how to fall safely is essential not just for martial artists, but also for preventing everyday accidents and injuries.
Inclusive Training Programs
Beyond standard classes, the club runs specialized training for athletes with physical or mental disabilities. Vereinsobmann Markus Mayer, who has experience overseeing these groups since 2009, currently guides a squad of seven athletes. These competitors frequently participate in national and international events, including the Special Olympics Summer Games 2026 in Vienna and the SO World Open in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. “Auch hier gilt, wenn Sportler Interesse an JUDO haben, finden wir eine Möglichkeit wie wir auch diese Personen fordern und fördern können,” Mayer said regarding the inclusive setup.
Club Offers Fitness Courses Alongside Judo Training
Since 1987, the Judo Club SV Treffen has been an active member of the Austrian Judo Federation. To complement its martial arts training, the organization offers supplementary fitness courses, including core muscle strengthening (CORE-Training), Pilates, and Qigong. These sessions cater to various age groups.
