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. Judo became an official event in the Olympic Games of 1964, backed by Judo fans and sport promoters all over the world. It is now a very popular sport almost anywhere in the world. "Judo", which is now exercised in many countries of the world, is the very Kodokan Judo, created in 1882 by Prof. Jigoro Kano.

Extractions: [ What is Judo? ] Junior Judo Randori Rules Techniques or 'Waza' ... Judo as an Olympic Sport Martial arts or combat sports generally divide into three main types namely the punching and kicking ones such as boxing and Karate, the close quarter grappling ones such as wrestling and judo and the weapon ones such as fencing and Kendo. Judo was invented in 1882 by a Japanese by the name of Jigoro Kano. However it was formed from a synthesis of Ju-jitsu styles, in particular the Kito and Tenjinshinyo styles. Jujitsu is the name for Japanese unarmed close-quarter fighting systems of which there were many in the late 1800s. The Japanese Samurai were trained to fight using a variety of weapons such as the sword and the spear but when it became close-quarter fighting the techniques of Ju-jitsu were used. For the most part the Ju-jitsu systems were grappling systems practised in pre-arranged sequences for safety. It could be said that Jigoro Kano created yet another Ju-jitsu style but his genius lay in recognizing that many of the Ju-jitsu techniques could be practised fairly safely. So in his system he created a competitive form of Ju-jitsu where the dangerous moves were banned (such as eye-poking) but retaining these dangerous techniques in the Kata or pre-arranged sequences of which there are seven. He called his system Judo to distinguish it from Ju-jitsu.

The year 1968 was marked by tragic worldwide events, with the assassination of both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, the ongoing war in Vietnam and the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. And ten days after the opening of the Mexico Games a shoot-out at the Trois Cultures square left hundreds of protesting students wounded.

Extractions: Judo Dojo On this page: A brief history of Judo Mid Sussex Martial Arts School International Judo 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 Philosophy Degree the following year. Apart from being the founder of Judo, Kano was also a leading educationalist and a prominent figure in the Japanese Olympic movement. When Kano began his study of Jiujutsu as a young man, the Jiujutsu 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 Jiujutsu 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. Ju - an adjective meaning soft, gentle. This word is taken from Taoist philosophy and embodies the opposite of hard, extreme or unreasonable. Hence the use of Ju in Judo does not imply soft (as a synonym of easy), but rather reasonable, efficient. Physical action in Judo is not meant to be easy (weak) so much as economic, by using the body to its best advantage and taking active advantage of any and all weaknesses the opponent may offer, so that maximum effect can be attained with maximum efficiency. Judo has also been described as a form of wrestling in which clothes are worn by the contestants. The clothes and belt (encircling the waist twice) allow for greater range of technique.

Extractions: Judo means "gentle way" in Japanese. Derived from jujitsu, the combat skill of Samurai warriors, judo stands apart from other Olympic combat sports in that it holds up yielding as strength, teaching fighters to bend like the bamboo before hitting back. Dr Jigoro Kano established the Kodokan Judo school of martial arts in the late 19th century to stem the decline of combat teachings. He based his new skill on a weight and momentum, the aim of his combat to break an opponent's posture, throw him and hold him. Judo soon spread to Europe and was practised by gendarmes at training school in Paris as early as 1902. The International Judo Federation was not formed until 1951, however, and the first world title was fought for in 1956, eight years before judo's Olympic debut, fittingly in Tokyo. Today, judo is played in thousands of clubs, associations and schools across the world.
