We have an excellent team of female Judoka about to compete in New York at the New York Athletics Club.

We were delighted to host a team of Judo instructors from Japan in February, including Yoko Tanabe, 7th Dan. 

Following a meeting in Japan in November with the London Area Chairman, we were delighted to host a visit from Gunjo Watanabe 8th Dan, Yoko Tanabe 7th Dan, Harukuni Shimoyama 6th Dan, and Koji Komuro 6th Dan who provided a coaching and technical workshop at the Budokwai over the weekend 23/24 February 2019. This was very well attended and enjoyed by all.

Our Judoka achieved some amazing results, and gained valuable competition experience...

We had a wonderful centenary year in 2018. Thank you to all who made it such a special, celebratory year.
