1.INTRODUCTION
Judo Ontario is the governing body for the sport of judo in the Province of Ontario. We are dedicated to the promotion and development of the sport. This is reflected by the programs and services administered by the organization.
There are over 100 judo clubs in Ontario which are recognized by Judo Ontario. These clubs serve more than 3,000 judo enthusiasts. There is a large demand for judo instruction offered by qualified instructors who are recognized by Judo Ontario and Judo Canada.
There are many challenges and responsibilities for operating a judo club. The Judo Ontario Club Manual has been written to assist judo club owners and all coaches with a guide for membership and operations. The following document outlines the policies and procedures that govern Judo Ontario’s programs, services and operations.
Please read the entire document and become familiar with these guiding principles. Your knowledge of the Club Manual will strengthen Judo Ontario by enhancing membership and the technical support system leading to higher performance results.
1.1Objectives of a Dojo
It is understood when opening a dojo that the establishment is committed to respecting the goals and objectives of the judo philosophy and to transmitting and encouraging the complete “judo lifestyle” which is based on the traditional philosophies of judo’s founder, Dr. Jigoro Kano.
In addition, the dojo educational values should be conveyed and the promotion of physical, psychological, and moral development of the participants should be of the utmost importance. In other words, the dojo must not only promote the technical aspects of the sport but must also encompass the philosophical concepts that distinguish judo from other sports.

3.5How Judo Ontario membership fits in with Judo Canada
Judo Ontario is the provincial body responsible for the delivery of Judo Programs in the province of Ontario.
They are the Provincial voice to the National body and International body.
Judo Ontario is responsible for coaching development, referee training, setting standards for belt requirements (Mudansha and Yudansha), technique development and safety standards.
They are also responsible for assistance in club development. Sanctioned clubs must adhere to proper instruction and safety standards.
They keep up to date in rule changes so the clubs and coaches will always be current.
Judo Ontario maintains and updates data bases so athletes can advance through the belt system. They maintain and up date a web site to keep members current. An office is also available to answer questions or pass the question on to the appropriate individuals.
Judo Ontario establishes standards for tournaments and clubs. Sanctioned tournaments and clubs will be conducted with the safety of participants in mind.
A club that is officially recognized by a Provincial Association as well as by Judo Canada gains a number of advantages. Among them:
- Administrative recognition of their club
- Possible financial aid from provincial/federal government
