Clarion Hotel San Jose Airport

July 25-27, 2008

Each year women from all over the country gather to practice judo. Joshi Judo Camp was founded by Ms Keiko Fukuda (9th dan) in 1974 to give women judoka an opportunity to train together. Training includes the gokyo no waza as well as kata and shiai techniques. Participants vary widely in age and background but we are all joined in ourlove of judo.
