Top boarding schools like Loyola Jesuit (₦4.9M/year) and AISA (₦28M/year) sell character. The IJF Judo in Schools program, led by 2007 World Champion Ruben Houkes, is the only PE system built on a moral code — and it is now in Abuja.

The IJF Moral Code has 8 values + 1 catalyst we add: Courtesy (Reigi), Courage, Friendship, Honesty, Honour, Modesty, Respect, Self-Control + FUN.

The IJF states: Judo in Schools contributes to children’s social-emotional development and improves social safety at schools. This is a pedagogic exercise for mental and physical health, where learning is about having fun and enjoying being together on the tatami.

How It Aligns With Your School’s Values:
– Courtesy & Respect: Every class begins and ends with Rei. Students bow to the dojo, to the teacher, to each other.
– Modesty & Honour: In Judo, you learn to win without arrogance and lose without shame — Kano’s Jita Kyoei.
– Self-Control: A child who can control another’s 60kg body in Katame-waza can control his own temper in class.

The Premium Partnership Model:

Tier 1: Seiryoku Zenyo Taster Day (FREE) — We demonstrate Ju no Ri — the principle of gentleness — to the whole school. Your students learn how small can throw big with efficiency, not aggression.

Tier 2: Jita Kyoei After-School Club — At your school. We provide IJF-standard tatami. 2x weekly. Revenue-share 70/30. Zero cost.

Tier 3: Curriculum Integration — We implement the full IJF Judo in Schools stepping stones. We train your PE staff, as done in Netherlands for 16 years and Namibia with 1,700 children. You become the first IJF-aligned school in Abuja. Billed per term.
