Welcome To
JudoScotland
As the sportscotland – recognised national governing body for the Olympic sport of Judo, JudoScotland represents our members, clubs, individual disciplines and hundreds of qualified, enthusiastic and committed volunteers delivering Judo across Scotland.
We believe that the Olympic sport of Judo has the potential to have a major impact on the lives of the Scottish population and in particular on younger citizens. Our sport has an inherent ability to engender respect for others, a sense of fair-play, develops a personal confidence and self-discipline within its participants, along with the obvious potential for an improvement.
"If there is effort, there is always accomplishment."
Jigoro Kano
