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.
