The origins of judo in Józefów reach back to 2002. The founder of the club (initially operating at the Integrated Sport and Recreation Centre) was Piotr Głuszyk, 4th Dan, former competitor at the WKS Gwardia Warszawa club, and currently a coach, referee, official, and secretary of the Warsawsko-Mazowiecki Judo Association for 2013-2017, Vice-President for Organisational Affairs for 2017-2021, and chairman coordinator of the “YUKO Józefów” Judo Club for Young People.
Throughout all its years the club has worked closely with the Polish Judo Union and the Warszawsko-Mazowiecki Judo Association, jointly organising in Józefów, among others, qualifying competitions for central competitions, training courses for coaches as well as top-level events, such as the Polish Cadets Championship and the Polish Kata Championships.
