The European Judo Union (EJU) is delighted to invite you to the Adapted Judo Workshop 2025, a pivotal event aimed at shaping the future of adapted judo. This workshop builds on the success of four remarkable tournaments held under the EJU Get Together Tour, the Open European II Judo Championships (Intellectual Impairment) and the official European Adapted Judo Kata Championship. The event presents an invaluable opportunity to review and refine the adapted judo rules introduced in 2023, thus finalising the 2025 rules.

- Review of Adapted Judo Rules: A comprehensive examination of the current rules, including those governing Kata.
