The Kodokan has published full details of its 2026 Summer Camp for Juniors and is now accepting registrations. The camp is aimed at primary and secondary school students and runs in early August at the Kodokan in Tokyo.
The programme covers tachi-waza and ne-waza instruction, demonstrations of kata, and plenty of randori to put the day's lessons into practice. The stated goal is to help each participant build a solid foundation in judo — both technical and mental — and to grow the next generation of players who will carry the sport forward.
For Hong Kong readers, the camp is a useful window on how Japanese junior judo is structured, and a possible reference point for any future Hong Kong family thinking about sending a child to a short-term training stay in Tokyo. Anyone interested should contact the Kodokan directly for the latest application details and accommodation information.
