SHAPE America

SHAPE America is a national standards framework for K-12 Physical Education that defines what a student should know and be able to do at each stage of developing physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthy physical activity.

Keeping with Professor Kano’s goals, judo is meant to be not just a life-long sport, but to become a way of life.  Kano’s philosophy of morality, societal contribution, and physical judo techniques  is in alignment with SHAPE framework’s stages of development for safe and progressive instruction.
