British Judo’s National Inclusion Weekend brought more than one hundred judoka together for training across ages, grades and abilities. Paralympic medallist Ben Quilter and adaptive lead Kerry Tansey delivered sessions demonstrating how technical judo can be adjusted to support different participants.
The following day, the National Training Centre hosted its second adaptive-judo conference, attracting more than forty coaches. The programme focused on visually impaired athletes, with contributions from Ian Rose, Chris Skelley, UK Deaf Sport and adaptive judoka Isabelle Everest and Patrick Kimber.
Practical sessions followed the discussions, giving club coaches opportunities to explore inclusive delivery. Organisers linked the weekend with preparation for future competition, including the British Schools Championships, and the federation’s intention to enter a team at the next Deaflympics as its adaptive pathways develop.
