All applicants must hold a current FULL BJA (or affiliated body) membership & be a minimum grade of 3rd Kyu (Green Belt).

First Aid 4 Judo - Bromley - 21 Mar 26
2026-03-21 09:30 - 13:30 | Norman Park Community Sports Centre, Hayes Lane, Bromley, Kent, BR2 9EG, United Kingdom
First Aid for Judo is a practical, judo-specific course covering the injuries and emergencies most likely to happen on the mat — from falls and fractures to concussion, choking and cardiac arrest. You’ll learn what to do, what not to do, and when to escalate, with clear, coach-friendly scenarios. BJA recognised, ideal for coaches, volunteers, and club welfare leads.
To book onto First Aid for Judo (BJA recognised), we just need:
Full name
Age (learners must be age-appropriate for the course)
Judo club (and role if relevant: coach/parent/volunteer)
Prior first aid knowledge is recommended but not required — we’ll cover everything you need on the day, step-by-step, with judo-specific scenarios.
Please be aware the course sometimes covers real-life emergencies and injuries, which some people may find upsetting. If at any point you need a pause, that’s absolutely fine.
It’s also a practical session, so you’ll need to be able to take part in physical activities such as CPR on the floor (kneeling/bending down and getting back up).
What to wear: comfortable clothing you can move in (sportswear is ideal). No judogi is required, but you should be dressed to safely demonstrate and practise techniques.

National Rules Seminar - 21 Mar 26
2026-03-21 10:00 - 17:00 | British Judo National Training Centre, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus), Gorway Road, Walsall, West Midlands, WS1 3BD, United Kingdom
British Judo are pleased to offer a Rules Seminar primarily for referees and coaches, it is mainly designed to disseminate the confirmed contest rules of 2026 and reinforce the key contest rules that are not changed.
The British seminar will include international referees at the sharp end on international duty.
Further to the IJF steer for the rules in 2026, British Judo will disseminate this guidance using feedback from the Paris Grand Slam in February 2026 as clarity for the delivery.
GBR encourage referees and coaches to work together to understand the interpretation principles more thoroughly to establish what is really happening and therefore the limits of what is allowed or not and why, this will help referees to manage contests more accurately and help coaches to educate their athletes for compliance with the applicable rule set. It is hoped that athletes can learn to better manage contests within the rules by avoiding penalty situations and score more frequently once they have a better understanding of precisely how the rules are intended to work in detail.
British Judo will continue their drive for excellence with VI and Adaptive rules tuition at the seminar with the hope to enable those matches to be managed more effectively across the country.
THIS IS A REVALIDATION EVENT FOR COACHES, NATIONAL B AND ABOVE REFEREES
Dates / Times: 21st March 2026 Start 10.00, End 17.00

Together, these sets contain 21 techniques, illustrating fundamental concepts such as control of centre, timing, use of gravity, and adaptation to an armored opponent. The course provides an excellent opportunity to deepen understanding of classical Judo principles, historical context, and advanced kata practice.
This is a British Judo Association Licensed Coach Education Course and is worth one credit.
The course is limited to 20 places due to the size of the tatami.
