National Technical Conference

National Technical Conference – 1st-2nd November 2025 Walsall

British Judo’s National Technical Conference returns this autumn—and we’re thrilled to welcome Olympic legend Shinji Hosokawa 8th Dan (JPN) as our headline clinician.

Hosokawa is a two-time Olympic medalist having captured gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games whilst a Bronze medal followed in Seoul in 1988 with a world title sandwiched in between in 1985, before embarking on a coaching career that has produced stars such as triple-Olympic champion Tadahiro Nomura. This is a rare chance to learn directly from one of judo’s most respected technical minds at this year’s National Technical Conference.

The conference is aimed at all BJA-licensed coaches and judoka graded 2nd Kyu and above, with all on-the-mat sessions led by Hosokawa.

Cost £60.00 for two days and £35 for one day

Refreshments will be provided – attendees are requested to bring own lunch
