What is judo?
Judo is a Japanese martial art based around throws, holds, pins and controlled submission techniques. Participants may practise individual movements, train with a partner or compete in organised bouts.
Can I get travel insurance for judo?
Yes, cover can be available for organised judo training and amateur competition through the policies offered by Direct Travel.
Judo is listed differently between policies, so choose the activity that matches what you plan to do. Organised training and amateur competition may be separate options. Check that the correct activity appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents.
Amateur competition can only be covered when it forms part of a wider trip. Cover does not apply if entering the competition is the main purpose of your trip. Professional, sponsored or paid participation and competing for prize money are not covered.
Things to remember:
- Choose the judo activity that matches your plans
- Check that it appears on your policy documents
- Train at an established dojo or organised venue
- Use properly fitted clothing and suitable protective equipment
- Practise breakfalls before throws and contact exercises
- Follow your instructor or referee’s directions
What can travel insurance help with?
If you’re injured while taking part in insured judo, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment, personal belongings and other travel related problems. Personal Accident, Personal Liability and cover for specialist equipment can vary, so check the applicable Policy Wording.
