About the Activities

Philosophy is proven through practice.

ID Judo Network continues to accumulate practical experience in safe and dignity-centered Judo through education, research, and international exchange.

An intensive residential training program that shares the philosophy and foundations of ID Judo.

Participants study Foundational Judo centered on natural posture, the principle of Ju, and kuzushi.

Instructors, supporters, and practitioners from across Japan and abroad gather to learn and grow together.

The philosophy of ID Judo is shared beyond national borders.

Through collaboration with Judo organizations—primarily across Asia—international seminars, introductions to our philosophy, and the sharing of teaching methods, we promote Judo that is safe and educational in nature.

These exchanges are not conducted for competitive results, but for the sharing of philosophy and practice.

We position Judo as education and develop our activities through a continuous exchange between practice and research.
