Purpose: This study reexamines the importance and value of recreational judo, proposing policies and identi-ties for Korean judo through the vision and prospects of recreational judo from 2010 to 2020. Furthermore, by specifically exploring the Gochang Goindol Cup Recreational Judo Competition and Gyeonggi Province's recrea-tional judo, which is considered the nation's most outstanding, the study suggests future development directions and identities for recreational and elite judo in Korea. Method: This study specifically explored and analyzed the vision and prospects of Korean judo through a lit-erature review of the history of recreational judo from 2010 to 2020, and presented the development direction, identity, social value, and importance of the Gyeonggi-do Judo and Gochang Dolmen Cup Judo competitions, which are the highest level in the country. Results: Recreational sport, allowing these enthusiasts to sweat and enjoy together. Government support and promotion of regional judo competitions and expansion of its base is a crucial step toward fulfilling its role in national sports welfare. Conclusion: To promote judo as a recreational sport, we should encourage frequent, voluntary club activities and ensure participation. In particular, free training sessions should be offered to increase interest in judo. Fur-thermore, judo instruction should be expanded beyond gyms to include it in physical education classes at schools. To further promote judo as a recreational sport, support from local community organizations is essential. Actively supporting the creation of multipurpose judo centers that can be used for various physical activities, including judo, and as a recreational sport will contribute to the promotion and revitalization of judo.
