The Koka Kids Junior Judo magazine is designed and edited by the 1993 world champion, Nicola Fairbrother (nicola@kokakids.co.uk). Since its launch in 2001, Koka Kids has sold out every issue and its circulation is steadily growing. Already coaches who teach in clubs and schools throughout the UK have signed up and the feedback appears to be all positive.

Nicola says "The kids really like it. You can see it on their faces when they get a new copy of the magazine... and that, in my books is what its all about. The whole idea, when I started Koka Kids, was teach kids about judo and inspire them, to spark an interest or an enthusiasm for judo"

Promoting junior judo is key to the Koka Kid's aims and objectives.

To help the promote judo in their area participating clubs also get free posters. These posters are full colour and A3 in size, designed to stand out from a school notice board or on a sports centre's wall.

"Its up to the coaches to decide where they put the posters. There's a blank space at the bottom so that they can write in their club details, class times... or whatever event they wish to promote. Hopefully, non judoka will see these posters and will want to try judo." says Nicola. And to further help individual clubs gain recognition, participating clubs also get their club news published in the magazine.

In the last issue, there were 10 pages of club news with articles on Bushido's victory at the London International, on school judo taught by Alan Jones and Sue Crofts in Wales, on Matt Divall's annual Inter Schools Championships, on schools in Berkshire taught by Ryan Joseph, on Senshu Judo's new elite sqaud and the Senshu mini judoka class, on Pinewood's win at Harlow, on Yamashita's visit to New York, on Jo Dan's triumph at the London International, on Hall Grove's most improved judoka, on a recent grading at the San Juan club in Puerto Rico and JAG's recent exchange trip to Singapore.

This along with posters to collect, prizes to be won, technique tips and fantastic action photographs makes the Koka Kids magazine a sure winner with the youngsters.
