**British Judo Welcomes EJU Head of Kata Commission for Seminar**
In a significant development for the judo community, British Judo is excited to announce a special seminar featuring the esteemed
Head of the European Judo Union (EJU) Kata Commission. This event represents a unique opportunity for judo practitioners,
coaches, and enthusiasts across the UK to gain invaluable insights from one of the foremost authorities in kata.
The seminar, scheduled to take place at the British Judo Centre in Walsall, is expected to draw participants from all corners of the
country. The EJU Kata Commission Head, known for their extensive experience and deep understanding of judo kata, will lead
sessions focused on the intricacies of kata practice. This includes technical demonstrations, strategic insights, and guidance on
achieving excellence in kata performance.

Kata, a traditional aspect of judo, involves pre-arranged forms or patterns of movements that are essential for mastering the art’s
technical and philosophical aspects. The seminar will cover various kata forms, including Nage-no-Kata, Katame-no-Kata, and the
more advanced Kodokan Goshin-Jutsu. Attendees will have the chance to learn advanced techniques, correct common mistakes, and
understand the historical and theoretical underpinnings of kata.
British Judo President, Stuart Anslow, expressed enthusiasm for the seminar, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome the Head of the
EJU Kata Commission to British Judo. This seminar represents a golden opportunity for our community to deepen their
understanding and appreciation of kata. The expertise and perspective that our distinguished guest brings will undoubtedly enhance
our practice and contribute to the growth of judo in the UK.”
The seminar will also include interactive Q&A sessions, allowing participants to engage directly with the EJU Kata Commission Head
and address their specific questions and challenges. This interactive component is expected to foster a collaborative learning
environment and encourage the exchange of ideas among judo practitioners.
British Judo is committed to supporting and developing the sport at all levels, and this seminar is a testament to that commitment. It
not only provides an educational experience but also underscores the organization’s dedication to fostering international relationships
and collaboration within the judo community.
In anticipation of the seminar, British Judo has encouraged members and judo enthusiasts to register early, as spaces are expected to
fill quickly. This event promises to be a highlight of the judo calendar, offering a rare chance to learn from one of the leading figures in
the field of kata.
Overall, the seminar is poised to be a landmark event for British Judo, reinforcing the organization’s role as a hub of judo excellence
and continuing its tradition of bringing world-class expertise to its members.
