Abstract - Judo teaching through games systematic organization according to the principles of complex games networks
Background. Although the rules of judo are constantly being transformed its teaching still uses analytical training that, as a result, intervene in the comprehension process of this modality. It is therefore necessary to elaborate an appropriate pedagogical proposal for teaching it in an introduction to the sport.
Objectives. The aim of this study is to present a systematic pedagogical proposal, through a complex network using games as the main teaching strategy, in initiation to the sport of judo.
Methods. This approach utilizes games as a teaching strategy, organized in functional units, as well as systemizing judo through a network.
Results. A coach who understands this pedagogical proposal and builds, games that prioritize functional judo principles from the network in an appropriate sequence, may give opportunities and many benefits to judo players.
Conclusions. It is possible to conclude that this pedagogical proposal can be expanded to other teaching stages including; late introduction; expertise and high sports performance. However, it depends on the organisation of the network in functional units and on the games proposed by coaches.
