World Judo Day is celebrated on the birthday of the founder of judo, Jigor Khan. This date is an opportunity to emphasize the values ​​that judo promotes, not only as a martial sport but also as a way of upbringing, education and building healthy lifestyle habits.

Judo is much more than a sport. It is a skill that teaches us respect for opponents, self-control, discipline, persistence and responsibility. Through training and competitions, judokas develop physical strength, coordination and endurance, but at the same time learn how to accept victory with humility and defeat with dignity.

Every year, World Judo Day puts special emphasis on a particular value, reminding us that judo connects people regardless of their age, background or life circumstances.

Celebrating World Judo Day is an opportunity to acknowledge all coaches, athletes, parents and sports workers who contribute to the development of this sport with their efforts and dedication. It is especially important to encourage children and young people to practice judo, because through sport they gain self-confidence, develop work habits and adopt values ​​that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Judo teaches us that strength is not only in physical fitness, but also in character, respect and willingness to learn from each other.

Happy World Judo Day!
