The IJF and the IJF Academy are pleased to publish the third volume of the 'Art and Science of Judo', an international interdisciplinary journal. The first volume of the journal was published in 2021. The main idea behind the initiative was to bring together judo researchers from all over the world by publishing their research papers, one that would be available to all judo researchers, judoka and judo fans.
The aim of this edition, as was for the first ones, is that the journal becomes a go-to publication to include research papers on relevant topics which comment on or have an impact on the development of judo, helping to bridge the common gap between academic research and the challenges of practical work in judo.
In this third edition, you'll find 'Academic Papers' and a new section called 'Industry Viewpoints.’
