Adaptive Judo offers people with diverse and special needs the opportunity to participate - and compete - in Judo.
With the required training and encouragement, people with intellectual disabilities and other special needs can learn the art and culture of judo, taking their place as respected members of our Judo community.
Some Adaptive Players will choose to take it to the next level by competing at a Club level, or in national and international competition.
Judo develops cardiovascular fitness, anaerobic capacity, flexibility, strength, power and improved body composition with training. Adaptive Judo offers a fair and welcoming opportunity for Judo participants to develop and demonstrate their skills and talents through judo training and competition.
Adaptive Judo also increases the public's awareness of the full capabilities and needs of our Adaptive players, from first timers to our international champions alike.
Contact JA to explore options for Adaptive Judo in your local clubs - or for an introduction to Adaptive Judo specialists coaches and players doing Australia proud on the global stage.

How can I help?
Providing an inclusive sport participation opportunity is important for all Australians and through better resourcing of the Adaptive program, Judo Australia can expand our program to reach all Australians. Your help is needed - and appreciated.
All funds raised will help grow Adaptive Judo to provide opportunities for all those with special needs, allowing them to participate in sport and promote an active lifestyle.
