Free judo and self-defense classes have officially resumed in Ascoli Piceno, offering weekly training sessions for participants starting from five years of age. The program operates out of the heavy athletics gym on via De Dominicis, situated near the Campo Scuola di Atletica Leggera.
The initiative is organized by the Accademia ascolana judo difesa personale Asd, an organization affiliated with U.S. Acli. Financial backing for the community program is provided by Ascoli Reti Gas, allowing the association to offer the training sessions entirely free of charge to the public.
Weekly Training Schedule and Age Groups
Classes are divided into specific shifts across multiple days to accommodate different age groups, spanning children, youths, and adults. Morning sessions take place on Mondays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Afternoon instruction runs on Tuesdays and Fridays, separated into distinct time blocks.
Children’s classes are scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sessions for youths and adults follow immediately afterward, running from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the same days.
Physical and Mental Benefits of the Discipline
Instructors emphasize that practicing judo provides a wide range of physical and mental health advantages. On a physical level, regular training strengthens overall muscular force, increases joint flexibility, improves physical coordination, and builds cardiovascular endurance.
Mentally, the discipline requires sustained focus, which helps practitioners develop better concentration and emotional well-being. Organizers note that the structured environment also serves as an effective outlet for reducing daily stress.
