This weekend, we returned to sportscotland Inverclyde for another incredible edition of The Gathering, which attracted over 200 judoka from the Home Nations and beyond.
Throughout the weekend, participants enjoyed a range of on-the-mat sessions, focusing on ne waza, tachi waza, and kumi kata techniques, complemented by off-the-mat social.
The event began with an inspiring session led by Double Olympic Champion and three-time World Champion, Shohei Ono, marking his second appearance at The Gathering. We were also honoured to welcome reigning Olympic Champion Takanori Nagase for the first time, who captivated participants with an engaging session.
On Sunday morning, Takafumi Kitahara brought his expertise to the mat, sharing invaluable insights and demonstrating his technical skills to round off a memorable weekend.
