All judo clubs must evolve over time. Those who remain static will eventually fade away. You need to constantly improve your offering. That's true of any business. And it's true of a judo club too.
Those who are familiar with KL Judo know that for a long time our focus was on competitive judo training for adults. Only recently have we started to train kids. The idea of "family judo" emerged soon after that.
We figured it would be a good idea if parents were on the mat at the same time as their kids, for two reasons:
a) the very young kids feel more comfortable and confident when their parents are on the mat too
b) some parents sit on the sidelines watching the training for two hours -- they might as well get on the mat and do some judo too!
We pitched this idea to a few parents, who decided to try it and they really like it. Nowadays, this is something we pitch to all parents who bring their kids to try out judo. It's a really good concept and we're delighted that it has taken off so well.
