Hawaii Judo United
Hawaii Judo United is a state-wide judo development initiative designed to provide technical, physical, and material support to all judoka of Hawaii. Our efforts are open to all clubs or individual judo players registered with any of the National Governing Bodies (USA Judo, USJF, or USJA). The overriding goal is to grow grassroots programs and increase the number of judo players in the state while nurturing and supporting intermediate to advanced players into becoming elite international competitors. We will do this by providing training opportunities for players from all clubs to participate in joint training and development opportunities.
JTUC Hawaii provides an opportunity for all clubs to train together for the betterment of the collective. Hawaii Judo United is a program, not a dojo or club, and participants are both expected and required to stay with their home dojo. Participants will be regularly be afforded the opportunity to train with Olympians and champions from Japan and around the world.
