Between October 10 - 24, 5140 athletes from 93 countries became guests of the land of the rising sun. Japan, for its part was eager to prove, as the first Asian host, that it was far removed from the atrocities of the Second World War. The organizers chose a potent symbol to prove their turnaround. Yoshinori Sakai, born on the day an atomic bomb was unleashed on Hiroshima, was chosen as the final runner to carry the Olympic flame into the arena. Although chosen in 1936 for the 1940 Games, Tokyo had to forfeit the following year due to its conflict with China. On May 25, 1959 Japan was given full support to host the 18th Olympiad with 34 votes out of 56 in favor.

Extractions: Source BJA Website 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- HISTORY Today, Judo is the name commonly used for Kodokan Judo, founded by Professor Jigoro Kano. He was born at a seaside town near Kobe in 1860 when Japan was going through a period of turmoil, both domestically and internationally. Kano's mother died when he was 11, and in 1871 he moved to Tokyo where his father lived. In that same year the government enforced an ordinance that prohibited all samurai from wearing swords and set of a swift decline of all martial arts, including jujitsu (an art of attack and defense). But this did not hinder the young Jigoro Kano. While concentrating on academic studies, he yearned for a strong body and studied tenjin shinyo ryu , a kind of barehanded jujitsu , then kito ryu . He achieved the highest rank in both and from that beginning he founded and constantly refined the new art of Kodokan Judo through out his lifetime. In his own words, "I founded a new system for physical culture and mental training as well as for winning contest." In 1882 he opened the first Kodokan training school in Tokyo. He was appointed the first Japanese member of the International Olympic Committee in 1909 and led the first Japanese team to the 5th Olympic Games held in Sweden in 1912. As founder and first chairman of the Japan Amateur Sports Federation, he remained active in the world of sports well into old age.

The dojo, established in 1946, was named the Kidokwan Judo Institute after the original Vancouver Kidokan Club, which had been the headquarters dojo in prewar B.C. With so many Judoka in one city it was natural for Kamino, 3rd Dan at the time, and third highest rank in Canada (to that of S. Sasaki who was now residing in Ashcroft, B.C., and E. Mori), to organize these black belts and form an executive board to look after the business of Judo which included the granting of grades. Thus, the "Canada Judo Yudanshakai", the forerunner to the Canadian Kodokan Black Belt Association, was formally established. But now occurs a strange step in the Judo story.

Extractions: HISTORY OF JUDO Jigoro Kano was born on October 28 th , 1860 in the village of Mikage located close to Kobe. He was the third son of Jerosaku Kano, a merchant in shipping equipment. At the age of 11 Jigoro moved with his family to Japans capitol Tokyo. Here, at the age of 17, he enrolled in the Imperial University where he got a degree in economical and political sciences. JIGORO KANO Since he knew that a job in the political area would be unsatisfactory, he transferred to the pedagogic faculty. After obtaining his degree he taught philosophy a year later. He worked himself up from teacher to professor and finally vice-president of the school for the nobility. Jigoro Kano was a small and frail man, even for a Japanese. Several of his less civilized fellow students made themselves heard by being rough and using brute force. The small and silent Jigoro Kano was one of their favorite victims. The frail student was however to self-conscious to let himself be walked over without any kind of resistance. An iron will resided in him with the characteristics of a steel spring, resisting more when put under greater stress, but never breaking. Jigoro had to find some way that would enable him to fight his assailants on equal terms, and win. He found what he was looking for.

Dr. Kano began studying Ju-Jutsu as a young man. At that time, Ju-Jitsu had fallen out of favor. Ju-Jitsu Masters struggled to earn a living. Although the Masters wanted to pass on their skills, there was little interest among the next generation. In 1883, Dr Kano began teaching the public. He borrowed a small room at Eishoji temple and opened the first Kodokan school of Judo. Kodokan representatives travelled throughout Japan demonstrating Judo and lecturing on the principles behind the new method. In 1886 a match was held to determine which system of Ju-Jutsu should be approved for use in military academies, police departments and public schools. The 15 strong male Kodokan team defeated all opponents and Judo became a government approved sport.

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.

Extractions: The Submission Judo Archives JUDO HISTORY by M. Tripp Before I begin; lets understand the ground rules. Disagree if you wish; but you are going to have to do it with facts not emotion. You will have to back up your statements with historical facts. The history of BJJ/GJJ is a cloudy one; made so by people who wish to "sell" it. Miscalling people like Maeda and Kimura jujutsu people is a glaring example of this. To this end; we are going to have to define once and for all what jujutsu is; and what judo is. Subsets are not really the issue. In terms of what came from Japan, and then became BJJ/GJJ; EITHER it is jujutsu or judo. There is NO middle ground here. Jujutsu (jiujitsu or jujitsu are incorrect spellings; Check out Secrets of unlocking Aikijujutsu for full chapter and verse on this); was a traditional Bujutsu ryu-ha of old Japan. As a traditional ryu-ha; it was taught and practiced in a certain way. Dragger spells this out plainly in his works on Bujutsu both old and modern; to wit 1. No Belt Ranks 2. No sparring, only kata and one steps 3. Training for the Battlefield only I could post more but you get the point. ALL traditional bujutsus were about killing someone in the course of defending or storming a castle, or fighting a large-scale battle. In the case of Jujutsu it was about getting free to kill someone. The skills of grappling in armour with a tanto; getting your arms free to draw a sword, etc., THIS is the basis for the traditional ryu-ha's of Jujutsu. Now; BUDO unlike Bujutsu, was always about the person, not the group. The change from bujutsu wasn't about "watering down" techniques; but rather changing them to apply to the new world they lived in. People were not wearing swords; or storming and defending castles anymore. The focus of the training had to change with the times.

Fighting arts are an instinctive demand by every being of the human race; thus many sports of today have developed from ancient fighting arts, e.g., rapier and sabre fencing, archery, boxing, javelin and discus throwing, wrestling, and in fact it can be said that all sports at some time had military connections in a nation's history. Judo originated in Japan and was not only created just as a fighting military art but also as a form of spiritual and mental training which, from it's earliest stages, was naturally influenced by Japanese customs, habits and environment. These influences are illustrated by the many formalities connected with Judo, such as the bow before and after practise or instruction. I will now describe the different periods in the Japanese history of Judo: The periods are: 1. CHIKARA-KURABE B.C.1500 to A.D. 720

The corporation is a member of USA Judo, the national governing body for Judo which serves as a member of the United States Olympic Committee, the Pan American Judo Organization, and the International Judo Federation. It's beginning was much earlier. Roy H. "Pop" Moore, Sr. came to Texas in 1957 as chief official of the 2nd Air Force Judo Championships held in Austin. Pop's foster son was Emelio Bruno, who was in charge of combative measures, Judo, and physical fitness for the Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force. Pop liked the city and Texans so much he decided to stay. In the late 1950's there were only a few clubs in Texas: Denton Jr. Optimist with Curley Freeman, Mose Woodson, and Tom Coyle; Geis/Landers in Houston with Karl Geis and Rick Landers, Ft Worth Judo Club with Sam Numajiri, and Austin Judo Club started by Pop Moore. From there the state Judo membership has grown to one of the largest in the U.S. The initial organization was called the Southwestern U.S. Judo Association and encompassed the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and New Mexico. The organization was taken from parts of the Rocky Mountain and Shufu Yudanshakais but did not have official sanction. In 1961 the Judo Black Belt Federation, the technical body for Judo in the U.S. under an agreement with the Amateur Athletic Union, approved the territory reduced to the state of Texas as the Texas Judo Black Belt Association. In the 1960's the organization grew to about 40 clubs with a total of over 1,000 members and conducted tournaments with so many competitors it took two days to complete them.

Extractions: History of Judo During the feudal days of Japan, many forms of Jujitsu were taught which included such techniques as grappling , pushing, kicking and throwing. Professor Jigaro Kano, founder of Kodokan Judo studied these forms but became dissatisfied with the many injuries that occurred when practicing throwing techniques. Dr. Kano took what he saw as useful and beneficial, and he discarded what he thought harmful, such as punching and kicking. He also refined falling techniques, so throwing techniques could be practiced safely. The result was simply a safe way of teaching Jujitsu. He called this style JUDO, or Gentle Way. In 1882, the Kodokan, the first school of Judo, was started in Tokyo, Japan. By 1952, Judo had spread to the United States and was recognized by the AAU. In 1964, Dr. Kanos dream was realized as Judo became an official sport in the Olympics. Worldwide recognition had been achieved at last. In 1984, Womens Judo was added to the Olympics. Why Do We Bow? In the time of the Samurai Warriors, the large weapons were carried on the back. When two warriors came together for a peaceful meeting or contest, they bent forward to show that they were not carrying a weapon. This was the way bowing started.
