Heel Ball

Sample Warm-Up Game Idea: Heel Ball - This game is designed to introduce O Soto Gari in a movement target scenario. A number of players stand with legs apart and place a ball on a cone in between their legs. The player has to approach by hopping on one leg out to the side and heel (backward kick) the ball off the cone. This develops a perfect O Soto Gari leg movement and backward drive.

Judo Games Manual: Warm up games are an essential part of any class plan - be creative & have fun. Tag games are ideal for warm ups, coordination, balance, agility and are great fun.
