Judo for the Disabled

Roy Court the site author. I have been involved in this project for the past 30 years. I have helped with my experience throughout Europe and the World. I have attended has a judo delegate 3 World Games/ 1 European Championships, many international / national and regional events.I was also one of the coaches that helped to convince the Special Olympics movement to accept the sport of judo into its summer sports programme. I was also one of the coaches who helped form the EJU Working party, to look into the possibility of the EJU accepting it in its programme.

With no background experience of disabilities, it was a hands on approach, eventually getting together with other coaches in Europe to form systems that would eventually enable the National Governing bodies of judo, to accept the project and convince them that the sport of judo could be adapted safely for all regardless of any disability.

People have the right to participate, regardless of disability in the sport of their choice.
