The Gathering 2026 with Tato Grigalashvili & Lasha Shavdatuashvili - 31 Oct & 1 Nov 26 - Glasgow
2026-10-31 - 2026-11-01 | Emirates Arena, 1000 London Road, Glasgow, G40 3HG, Scotland
The Gathering Returns to Glasgow in 2026 with Tato Grigalashvili and Lasha Shavdatuashvili

JudoScotland is delighted to announce that The Gathering will return to the Emirates Arena, Glasgow, on 31 October and 1 November 2026, bringing together the Scottish judo community for a truly exceptional weekend of judo.
The Gathering is more than a CPD weekend; it’s a celebration of judo. It’s a chance for our community to connect, learn from one another, and be part of something bigger. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome two Georgian greats, judoka who have helped shape the modern era of international judo.
With the British Veterans Championship taking place in Paisley just down the road that same weekend, we’re excited to once again make the greater Glasgow area a destination for Judo.
Tato Grigalashvili — Triple World Champion, Olympic Medallist
Tato Grigalashvili has become one of the defining competitors of the –81kg category. Known for his dynamic gripping, powerful throwing style, and exceptional technical clarity, he has dominated the world stage with:

Three consecutive World Championship titles

Multiple European gold medals

Olympic silver at Paris 2024

A reputation as one of the most complete judoka in the sport today

Tato made a huge impact at The Gathering 2025, with attendees praising his detaildriven delivery and the time he dedicated to every individual on the mat. Feedback included:
“His attention to detail, his enthusiasm and the amount of time he gave to everybody!”
“Main takeaway was the Georgian grip, taught me some things I had been wondering about and unable to find online, was very thorough in his explanations and genuinely cared that we learnt from him.”
“The detail in his demonstrations was superb. He gave a brilliant insight into the Georgian style of Judo through the techniques he demonstrated.”
We are thrilled to welcome him back.
Lasha Shavdatuashvili — Triple Olympic Medallist, World Champion
A true legend of the sport, Lasha Shavdatuashvili is one of Georgia’s most decorated judoka. With medals at three Olympic Games (gold in 2012, bronze in 2016, silver in 2020) and a World Championship title in 2021, Lasha’s career reflects extraordinary longevity, adaptability, and tactical intelligence.
Competing across both –66kg and –73kg categories, he remains one of the most respected and influential athletes on the world stage. His appearance at The Gathering 2026 offers Scottish judoka a rare opportunity to learn from a true master.

Itsutsu-No-Kata consists of five techniques which use judo techniques to overcome a range of forces.

National Rules Seminar - 20 Mar 27
2027-03-20 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 confirm the intricacies of the rule set finalised in 2026, then review the key characteristics of complex rules and reinforce how they are intended to be applied.
The British seminar will include high level referees delivering the content utilising IJF direction, the
seminar will also outline specific and significant differences between IJF and British Judo event rules
where deemed necessary to do so.
British Judo may disseminate the steer using feedback video from IJF to improve clarity of advice given.
As always, 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 helps referees to manage contests more accurately and helps 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 rule set we have by avoiding penalty situations and scoring more frequently.
Understanding the rule set to just a reasonable level can easily be the difference between an athlete winning a contest or losing, so very important for coaches and athletes to have a clear and objective understanding.
Using the rule set to an athlete’s advantage for their style of competing, can be the positive difference over an opponent who has less knowledge.
British Judo will also 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
