What kind of sport is judo ... ?Judo is a fun sport! It is a recognised Olympic sport and as such all coaches awarded coaching awards by the BJA have to demonstrate that they are fit to take the role. Back to Top
Will I get the chance to enter competitions ... ?Yes, if you wish. Not all judo players enter competitions but many do - the choice is yours. There are competitions and gradings aimed at beginners as well as advanced Judo players. Back to Top
