TheJudo Festivalis a magnificent opportunity to spend time with the family whilst each family member given the opportunity to choose an activity best suited for each of them, yet, at the same time, remain together in one big close-friendly Judo Family; because “Judo is more than sport!” Last year, EJU introduced a new addition to the Festival,Women Get Together.

They represent World and European Champions within their own specialty, kata. Participants will be able to discuss, train and observe these champions in action.
