In FY2014, 3967 student injuries during junior high school judo classes required visits to medical clinics according to a report by Hyogo Prefectural Assembly member Mr. Maruo.<\/span>

In addition to this, 5835 injuries during after school judo clubs were also reported. This is a total of 9802 injuries during FY2014 or 27 junior high school judo injuries a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Requirement to see a doctor implies that the injuries were not slight. Of the 3967 injuries 1263 cases, about 30%, were bone fractures.<\/span><\/p>\n

64% of junior high school students in Japan selected judo as their martial art class. <\/span>
\nThe total number of junior high school students in Japan in FY2002 was 3,504,332. <\/span>
\n3,967 <\/span>\u00f7 (3,504,332<\/span>\u00d70.64)=0.001768792 <\/span><\/span>
\nTherefore, the incidence rate of injury in school judo classes was 0.18%. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although unrelated, if electrical products have a defect probability of 0.18%, it is regarded as being in the red zone, which is a socially unacceptable risk zone.<\/span>

\nCan we allow children\u2019s lives to be treated so lightly or improperly?\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In one judo club at a high school last year (2015), one first year student suffered a bone fracture.<\/span>
\nThe student had had heat-related illnesses seven times between June and September, and on one occasion he was transported to hospital because he had fainted.<\/span>
\nIn this high school, only one of the four judo instructors was aware of \u201cSafe Instruction for Judo\u201d (published by the All Japan Judo Association), a booklet that all judo instructors must know inside out.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the large number of injuries, the All Japan Judo Association (AJJA) established a new system requiring all judokas who teach to have their instructor qualification approved by AJJA.\u00a0 In addition, safety instruction seminars using Safe Instruction for Judo have been carried out to enhance the safe teaching of judo.<\/span>
\nWhile the efforts are welcome, there is one contradiction: instructors can teach judo in school without the instructor qualification. Why do we have this issue?<\/span>
\nAJJA explains that \u201cJudo instruction in school is under the management of the school, therefore we do not have the right to interfere.\u201d Most of the injuries in judo have occurred inside the school.<\/span>
\nUnless we eliminate this contradiction, we will not have safe instruction of judo within schools.<\/span><\/p>\n
