Common Injuries

One essential part of warming up is stretching. Judo is a very physical combat sport, and injuries are relatively easy to sustain. Therefore, Judoka must warm up properly before participating in an Amateur Competition.

Even though it's a non-violent and exceptionally fair sport, kicking and hitting, for example, are not allowed. Judokas could still be thrown on the floor or have their limbs or even heads locked in awkward, uncomfortable holds or grips.

Before you go:

• Competition details:
  • Location and travel logistics (flights, accommodation)
  • Register and confirm all deadlines for the competition.
  • Research visa requirements if travelling internationally.
• Judo preparation:
  • Ensure your judo gi (uniform) and any required protective gear are in good condition and fit for travel.
  • Consider if you'll need extra training to adjust to a different climate or altitude.
• Travel preparation:
  • Book flights and accommodation well in advance, especially if the competition is in a popular destination.
  • Research the local culture and customs.
  • Consider travel insurance, especially one that covers judo competition.

During the trip:

• Travel:
  • Pack lightly, but ensure you have everything you need for competition, including toiletries and medications.
  • Allow ample travel time to account for delays.
• Competition:
  • Stay hydrated and fueled throughout the day of competition.
  • Warm up properly before your matches.
  • Focus on your Judo and enjoy the experience!
