The Welsh Judo Association (Welsh: Cymdeithas Judo Cymru) (WJA) is the governing body for the sport of judo in Wales.[2] The WJA has 80 affiliated clubs and over 2,400 members.[3] It is responsible for managing the Welsh High Class Performance Squads, from which Craig Ewers, the National Coach, selects the Welsh national team to compete in international events. Double judo Olympic silver medallist Neil Adams is a former WJA National Coach.[3][4][5][6][7]
Keven Williams, of Cynffig Judo Club, has been the WJA chairman since 2008.[8]
A purpose built GBP1.1m dojo opened at the Institute in October 2009 to house the WJA, allowing the full-time tutorage of promising athletes.[9][10]
The Welsh Judo Association is based at the Sport Wales National Centre, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, as is the Welsh Judo Association Academy.[9][11]
