Competing can be daunting, especially for younger or newer judoka. The Ultimate Judo League creates a safe, familiar and encouraging setting where all kids can test themselves, learn from others, and feel the reward of their own effort.
This isn’t just for squad members – it’s for everyone.
Children are split into small pools of 4–5 based on age, weight, and ability. They’ll compete in a round robin format(everyone fights everyone), with their pool supervised and guided by a coach throughout.
Each fight scored with:
3 points for the first Ippon
1 bonus point for each additional Ippon (max 5 points per fight)
3 Ippons = automatic win
We also feature a Double Point Technique each event – something from class that, if used successfully, earns an extra point!
Every judoka is assigned to a team. Their individual scores contribute to a team leaderboard. At the final event, the team with the most points wins the title of Ultimate Judo League Champions!
Bespoke collectors Medal and diploma for every child each session
