Kosen judo (高專柔道) is a variation of the Kodokan Judo competitive ruleset that was developed and flourished at the kōsen technical colleges in Japan in the first half of the twentieth century. Kosen judo's rules allow for greater emphasis of newaza (ground techniques) than typically takes place in competitive judo and it is sometimes regarded as a distinct style of judo.
Kosen Judo has great similarity to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as it allows the judoka to transition continuously from standing to groundwork and back again and a judoka can only win when they have achieved the score of Ippon. By practising Kosen Judo we allow our judoka to continue to practice a lot of the more traditional techniques prior to IJF rule changes each year such as leg grabs and pick ups.
If you would like to get involved, our class runs each Monday from 7-8:30pm at Dojo54.
