The All Japan Judo Federation has decided to hold a women's tournament on December 25th and a men's tournament on December 26th for the men's and women's all-Japan championships, which had been postponed from April due to the state of emergency.
The men's all-Japan championship and the women's all-Japan women's championship, which decide the best judo in Japan by weight indiscriminately, are held in April every year, but last year both were postponed to December due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Furthermore, because there were some areas where it was difficult to conduct qualifying due to the state of emergency, we decided to postpone it from April to autumn.
The All Japan Judo Federation and the Kodokan, which host the tournament, held an executive committee on the 25th and discussed, and as a result, decided to hold the women's tournament on December 25th and the men's tournament on the 26th at the Kodokan in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
In addition to the players who have won the qualifying round, we plan to give the right to participate as recommended players to the players who won the gold medal at the World Championships in June, who are the representatives of the Tokyo Olympics.
