WHO ARE THE JFA U.K.?

Sampson Sampson founded JFA UK in December 2010 in order to preserve traditional judo techniques and core elements.
NATIONAL TEAM
Although judo for all UK is an organisation that is focused on the preservation of traditional judo, we still believe that randori and competitive judo are an important part of every judoka’s development. We therefore provide international opportunities for those in the organisation that wish to push themselves to take part in competitive judo. This is done through our world governing body, The World Judo Federation (WJF), and our wider connections.
