USA Judo… the path to the martial art of judo
at any level.
Judo is one of only two martial sports that are part of the
Olympic Games. In 1964, men’s judo made its debut at
the Tokyo Games.Women’s judo became a full-medal event
at the Barcelona Games in 1992. As the recognized National
Governing Body for judo by the United States Olympic Committee,
USA Judo is responsible for the development, support and selection
of the USA Olympic Teams.

competitions, such as the U.S. Open and, beginning winter
