We conduct the Kodokan International Judo Seminar for the purpose of diffusing Kodokan Judo all over the world in the proper way, improving the coaching structure of orthodox Kodokan Judo by bringing up highly-skilled coaches who are well enough educated and have established the basis of Judo teaching. To achieve the purpose, we provide the education of both theories and techniques on the basis of orthodox Kodokan Judo, for young coaches who will be the leaders of Judo in each country.
