Developed by Dr. Jigoro Kano in the early 1880s as a gentler alternative to the dangerous martial arts, judo traces back to the hand-to-hand combat of Japanese samurai warriors. Meaning "soft way," the sport uses strict training to employ specialized principles of movement, balance and leverage to defeat an opponent. The competitors, or "judokas," score points by throwing an opponent to the mat, immobilizing an opponent, applying arm bars or choking an opponent. In the original version of the sport, breakdowns by weight class were not employed. The theory was that size didn't play a factor considering the key principles of judo were timing and balance, not brute strength. However, that theory changed in 1961 when a 6-foot-6, 253-pound fighter won the world championships by crushing three smaller opponents in consecutive rounds. Judo today takes place in seven weight classes.

Mosaics and drawings from Middle Eastern civilizations and Pompeii show man swimming in a dog stroke. Greeks held swimming in a high regard as well, so much so that men of the ancient times often considered others less worthy if they could not run or swim. A man was considered uneducated by Plato if he could not swim. But it was an 1844 race in London, England that displayed swimming close to what we know today. Thanks to England's Swimming Society, several American Indians were brought over for the race and dominated the competition using windmill strokes resembling today's freestyle. Despite the Indians' advanced style, the English still relied on the breaststroke - the stroke mainly used by Captain Matthew Webb when he became the first to swim across the English Channel in 1875.

MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING ACADEMY - Judo History judo history, In 1928, after attending the olympic Games of Amsterdam, JigoroKano conceived the idea to get judo in the olympic Games. http://www.geocities.com/matacademy/judo.htm
Extractions: Judo is derived from Jujutsu. It was created by Professor Jigoro Kano who was born in Japan on October 28, 1860 and who died May 4, 1938 after a lifetime of promoting Judo. Mastering several styles of jujutsu including Kito-Ryu and Tenjin-shinyo Ryu in his youth he began to develop his own system based on modern sports principles. In 1882 he founded the Kodokan Judo Institute in Tokyo where he began teaching and which still is the international authority for Judo. The photo below shows Jigoro Kano with a gathering of jujutsu leaders in 1921. click for larger image The name Judo was chosen because it means the "gentle way". Kano emphasized the larger educational value of training in attack and defense so that it could be a path or way of life that all people could participate in and benefit from. He eliminated some of the traditional jujutsu techniques and changed training methods so that most of the moves could be done with full force to create a decisive victory without injury.

Each chapter covers a different Olympic year... with detailed coverage of the more interesting matches. Who was favored, and why... what the upsets were, and reasons for various rule changes down through the years. In the appendix, it gives the results of each and every match. This book is historically valuable. I think that it is out-of-print, but as it's fairly recent, you should still be able to find a copy at a low price. For those interested in the historical development of Olympic Judo, and how it changed Judo worldwide, this book would be invaluable. Get it! Many people contributed to this book. Some helped with written material, some with memories and some even with demonstrations.

Two of the four U.S. Olympic Team Members, Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Paul Maruyama, were coached by Uchida at San Jose State. Ben Nighthorse Campbell is now a U.S. Senator representing the state of Colorado. Paul Maruyama is now a retired Air Force Colonel and coached the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic Judo Teams In 1975, women were added to the Judo program. As a team, the men and women at San Jose State University have set the pace for U.S. Judo and have become a leader in the sport both nationally and internationally. Coach Yosh Uchida's collegiate record is phenomenal. The San Jose State University Judo Team has won 36 out of 39 National Collegiate Team Titles. At the international scene, San Jose State University judokas have gained more medals (Olympic, World Championship, World University Game and Pan American Game Medals) than the rest of the United States.

Extractions: Beginnings of judo in Poland are connected with ju-jitsu activities. First elements of ju-jitsu were adopted already before WW II to programme of Sports Academy and services of Polish State Police. Some books and press articles have appeared informing about the fight system. However only in 1947 Marian Skierczyñski a chief of practical learning programme of Warsaw Sports Academy decided to include ju-jitsu and selfdefence to obligatory study programme of that higher school. In that time knowledge about a new forme of fights art created by Japanese creator - Jigoro Kano and called Judo Kodokan came to our country.

First judo step took place in 1950 in Warsaw Sports Academy and different techniques of selfdefence and ju-jitso contratacks techniques of ju-jitsu were shown. A very important moment for judo promotion in Poland was connected with arrival to Poland of Adam Nidzgórski to study at Sports Academy in Warsaw and Henryk Gielc to study at Technical University of £ód¼. They came from France where their families were settled in the past. They brought to their native country knowledge of rules for judo techniques basing an Kawashi system. They gave their all knowledge and best efforts to create this sport in Poland in a right way. This idea was very succesaful.
