Extractions: A BRIEF HISTORY OF JUDO Judo is a fascinating Olympic sport. More than that, it is an art form. It is now practised in almost every country of the world . What follows is a brief history of the development of what is now a modern Olympic Sport. KANO The founder of Judo Jigoro Kano was born in 1860, he graduated with a degree in literature from Tokyo Imperial University in 1881 and took a further degree in philosophy the following year. Apart from being the founder of judo, Kano was a leading educationalist and a prominent figure in the Japanese Olympic movement. When Kano began his study of ju-jutsu as a young man, the ju-jutsu masters of the martial arts were struggling to earn a living. Although they were willing to teach the skills handed down to them over many generations, there was little interest among people of the succeeding generation, additionally the demise of the samurai (warrior) class had reduced the need for instruction. At the age of 18 Kano studied the ju-jutsu of the Tenshin Shinyo Ryu under Fukudo and Iso, both instructors at the prestigious Komu Sho. Following the death of Fukuda, Kano remained briefly with master Iso before finishing his pupillage with master Ilkubo.

Extractions: Judo is a martial art that was born in Japan, and it is now known around the world as an Olympic sport. Judo was established in 1882 by combining jujitsu, a form of wrestling, with mental discipline. The roots of jujitsu lie in sumo , which has a long, long history; sumo is mentioned in the Nihon shoki (Chronicle of Japan), a document from 720 that describes the history of Japan from the mythical age of the gods until the time of Empress Jito, who reigned from 686 to 697. From the twelfth to the nineteenth century Japan was ruled by the samurai, a class of professional soldiers. This provided fertile ground for various martial arts to develop. In addition to fighting with swords and bows and arrows, the samurai developed jujitsu to fight enemies at close quarters on the battlefield. Several different styles of jujitsu evolved, and hand-to-hand combat spread as an important form of military training. The era of samurai rule came to an end with the Meiji Restoration of 1868, and Western culture began filtering in into Japanese society.

Extractions: In 1952, the postwar military occupation of Japan came to an end, and Japan made a bid to the IOC for Tokyo to host the Seventeenth Olympiad, to be held in 1960. The bid was won by Rome, but Japan was not discouraged. In October 1955, the Tokyo Metropolitan Legislature approved a decision to bid on hosting the Eighteenth Olympiad, to be held in 1964. A Japanese delegation visited Munich, Germany, for the fifty-fifth meeting of the IOC. Japan had set its hopes on winning the right to host the games and waged an aggressive campaign to wrest votes from rivals Detroit and Vienna. Finally on March 26, 1960, the IOC delegates put the matter to a vote. For Japan, the hosting of the Eighteenth Olympiad in October 1964 was a historical landmark event that signified the end of the postwar period and underscored Japan's high economic growth. During the 5 years leading up to 1964, preparations for the Games literally transformed the face of Tokyo. Roads in the city and suburbs were widened. A huge Olympic Village sprang up in Yoyogi, and NHK built a new broadcast center nearby to cover the event. Total expenditures in preparation for the event were said to be the highest in Olympic history.

Extractions: The History of Judo The Kodokan was founded in 1882 by the late Prof. Kano who himself had established Judo. Judo was derived from Jujitsu which had many names and schools. Jujitsu is an art for either attacking others or defending oneself with nothing but one's own body. Prof. Kano adopted the superlative parts of all the Jujitsu schools, got rid of precarious parts, and established the new Kodokan Judo based on his own insight and arrangement. It started with only nine disciples and a twelve-mat dojo. The Kodokan Judo was recognized in a few years to be excellent since its students overwhelmed the Jujitsu athletes at the Police Bujitsu Contest. This really was the first step for its future rapid progress. Prof. Kano promoted judo as a physical exercise from a wide national point of view. Proceeding with the organization of the Kodokan and enacting the regulations of Judo, he became the first Asian member of the International Olympic Committee in 1909 and worked for the spread of Judo world-wide.

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF JUDO Kodokan Judo was originally derived from the ancient art of combat, jujitsu, which has been practiced in the Orient for over 1,000 years. It is believed to have been introduced to Japan in the mid 1600s by a Chinese, Chen Tsu U, whose lecture to three lordless samurai stimulated the development of jujitsu to a fine art. Originally, the objective of jujitsu was to kill or seriously injure the opponent, but with the advent of modern warfare it fell into disuse. Judo is a sport developed from jujitsu, utilizing its best techniques but eliminating the harmful throws and modifying others so that they can be practiced safely. Judo incorporates ethics into jujitsu; it is an art and science that is practiced as a sport to turn an opponent's strength against himself. Kodokan Judo had its humble beginning in June 1882 in Tokyo, Japan. The first dojo (hall) founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano at Eishoji temple housed only 12 tatami (mats) and the judoka (students) numbered 9. Judo literally means "the gentle way" and the Kodokan, a hall to preach the way. Unlike jujitsu, judo was to embody mental culture as well as physical skills resulting in behaviour that would develop the student's personality. Professor Kano was aiming at the understanding and attainment of life concepts when in 1922 he formulated his principle of mutual welfare and benefit - jita kyoei. Professor Kano defined the purpose of judo as the development of physical education (fitness) by training one's mind and body in the most efficient use of energy, not only in combat but also in everyday life. Judo is regarded as the harmonious development and eventual perfection of human character. In summary the three goals of judo are physical development, contest proficiency, and mental and moral development. In essence, the judoka should endeavor to become a valuable asset to his/her society.

Extractions: Home Upcoming Events Articles Shiai Results Player Profile Sensei's Corner IJF Pic of the Month Club Directory Guestbook Contact Us Links Membership Form The Meiji Period (1868-1912) of Japanese history was an era of immense change. Japan had closed its doors to the West some two centuries earlier under the power of the ruling Shogunate, causing Japan to remain virtually unchanged during this period both politically and industrially. However, after numerous unsuccessful attempts to establish trade with the Japanese throughout the mid-nineteenth century by a number of Western nations, the United States finally managed to establish a foothold at the Dutch-maintained trading post of Deshima in Nagasaki. This occurred as a result of two notable expeditions. The first was led by Commodore James Biddle in 1846, and the second by Commodore James Glynn in 1849. Although it was the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853, that permanently set the wheels of change in motion. Perry brought word from then U.S. President, Millard Fillmore, demanding that Japan establish trading and diplomatic relations between the two nations. Fillmore also threatened the use of force if these terms were not met. As a result, a treaty of amity was signed by the following year between the U.S. and Japan. This effectively ended the isolation from the West that had lasted since 1639. Similar treaties followed with Britain, France, Russia, and the Netherlands, thus beginning Japan's rapid modernization.

Extractions: Dr. Jigoro Kano was born in the seaside town of Mikage, Japan, in 1860. At the age of 18, he started studying the art of jujitsu in order to strengthen his body. In 1882 he established his own school in Tokyo called the Kodokan and started teaching his own exercise, calling it Judo. Kano structured judo by taking the good points of the various schools and adding his own techniques for the purpose of physical conditioning and mental training. The first World Championships were held in Tokyo, Japan, and were won by the Japanese. Olympic Judo (male) competition was first held at the Tokyo Games in 1964, when the host country was allowed to include a sport of its choosing. There was no judo at the 1968 Games in Mexico City, but the 1972 Games included competition in five weight categories and the open category. Prior to the Summer Olympic Games of 1984, a Judo athlete was permitted to compete in a weight category plus the open. This procedure was abolished effective for the 1984 Games. Currently in the Olympic Games, an athlete cannot "double compete;" in the World Championships, however, "double competing" is permitted.
