More programme items than ever. In 2018 the EJU offers varied, interesting and informative seminars. For each taste and age group the right programme.
The European Judo Union (EJU) believes that the education and development of judo club coaches/teachers should be treated with the same importance as that which is currently given to the growth of national teams and coaches. Local judo clubs are the starting point for national teams in each federation. For this reason, the EJU from this point onward, will increase the professionalism and preparation of judo club coaches/teachers in keeping with the focus on national teams and coaches.
Beginning of July 2013, the EJU Education sector and EJU Experts Commission developed the "Improve Your Club" project, a unique education programmes of seminars. These seminars serve the dual purpose of teaching club coaches/ teachers to effectively motivate young people aged 8 -12 years, and how to continue training and competing in judo.
The core point will be — “Family and Judo” (parents and U8 children).
Judo training will be undertaken as a fun activity alongside other judo components. Parents will act as partners and as personal coaches. It is desirable that parents will be on the tatami wearing judogi (whilst we appreciate that this is not always possible, we see it as necessary and we should aim for it).

The EJU Project “OTC. Going for Gold” was launched in 2010. The main target of the project was to help the best European athletes in their preparations toward the London Olympic Games.
The successful performance of European athletes in London has encouraged the EJU Executive Committee to continue the programme during the next Olympic cycle and to expand it to promising junior judoka — to include medallists from the European and world championships of their age group.
We believe that this programme will be successful and again lead to European athletes becoming the strongest at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
