Extractions: CLICK ON PICTURE THE HISTORY OF JUDO "The aim of judo is to utilize physical and mental strength most effectively. Its training is to understand the true meaning of life through the mental and physical training of attack and defense. You must develop yourself as a person and become a useful citizen to society." Jigoro Kano, founder of Kodokan Judo Judo it was introduced in Japan in the 1880's , the same decade that volleyball and basketball were introduced in the United States. The Kodokan was founded in 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 owne body. Prof. Kano adopted the superlative parts of all the Jujitsu schools, and established the new Kodokan Judo based on his own insight and arrangement. Beginning students at the Kodokan taught the entirely different and separate techniques for self-defense. 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's own writings and teachings made it clear that the sport of judo was not intended for self-defense and his fervent hope was to have judo recognized as a pure sport form.

Extractions: Ananova: Olympic sport guide - Judo A guide to the Olympic sport of Judo Technical details The terms used in Judo are based on Japanese words. The competition area for Judo is a raised wooden platform, 16m x 16m, covered with green mats of pressed foam (called tatamis). The action, however, takes place in the central contest area, which measures 10m x 10m, as well as a metre border called the 'danger zone.' Competitors wear 'judogis' which are white judo uniforms, tied with a red or white sash and there are strict regulations over size, length, width and fastenings. Scoring contests are controlled by a referee, two judges, two time-keepers and a list writer (who records the flow of the contest). Ippon scores (10 points) and is a winning move, consisting of throwing an opponent on their back, holding an opponent down for 30 seconds or stranglehold. If this move is made, the contest is immediately over. Below the Ippon are various moves which register a score: Waza-ari - (seven points) almost an Ippon and the bout is over if a player scores two. Yuko - (five points), an Ippon with two elements missing. Koka - (three points), which is a throw onto the thigh or buttocks or a hold for between 10 and 20 seconds. The following are penalties and result in competitors having scores registered against them: Hansoku make - highest penalty warning and merits disqualification. Other penalties are 'shido', 'chui' and 'keikosu' which are for moves such as false attacks, illegal leg and arm holds and any move which causes danger to the opponent's spine or neck.
Mahonicle Articles had won a world championship title, he was an obscure judo player until Nomura becamethe first bantamweight in olympic history to successfully defend his title http://www.mahonicle.com/articles/nomura.html
Extractions: Clean-cut and dressed in a white judo uniform, 26-year-old Nomura works out every Tuesday with his students in the gym in Burk hall. "I didn't say anything about my title, because I came here to study English and I didn't want my classmates to be too formal with me just because I am an Olympic medallist," Nomura said. "It's so much fun and so challenging to learn from him. I felt pretty fortunate," said Colin Rhine, 24,a Graphic Design major, who is one of the lucky students in his SF State judo class."He always demonstrates a different throw each class. I thought it was an unique opportunity and very rare." Born in Nara, Japan in 1974, Nomura started judo before he entered elementary school. His baptism into judo, one of the oldest Japanese martial arts, was quite smooth because his grandfather was running a dojo, or judo hall, where he had his first lecture of kicks, flips and hand-to-hand combat from both a standing position and a lying position.

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF JUDO (from the Kodokan Web Site) 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.

Extractions: Professor Jigoro Kano 1860-1938 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. Not only was Kano the founder of Judo but was also a leading educationalist and a prominent figure in the Japanese Olympic movement. Judo - The formative years By 1883, Kano had clarified his analysis of ju-jitsu and related methods to the point at which he felt able to instruct the public through a school of his own. To that end he borrowed a small room at Eishoji temple and opened the first Kodokan for the study of Kano judo. A number of machi dojo (backstreet gyms) decided that the Kodokan was conceited and ought to be put in its place. They visited its premises and caused damage so that if honour were to be satisfied a challenge match would have to be arranged. At such matches the Kodokan was represented by Sakujiro Yokoyama, the outstanding player of his day, and the result was invariably a win for Kano judo. To gain acceptance from the provinces Kodokan representatives travelled all over Japan giving lectures and demonstrations on the principles behind the new method. The finale of these lectures was a contest, with limb locks and striking excluded, between the Kodokan lecturer and a member of the local training school. A particularly important match took place in 1886 to decide which system of ju-jitsu 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.

Extractions: What is Judo? Techniques or 'Waza' Kata and Randori The History of Judo ... Randori Rules 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.

Every Girl's Judo A.P. Harrington. Emerson Books, Inc., 1960. 127 pp. Hardcover. A good Judo book covering a broad range of skills, and a nice section on "necklocks" (chokes) and self defense from a woman's perspective. All of the line drawings have been changed to show a girl or woman performing the technique, but Harrington does not suggest that woman should not be doing the full range of technical Judo Skills, to the contrary, he covers the full range of standard, basic Judo. The Father of Judo. Amazon Books. Fighting Judo . Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki. Pelham Books, 1985. This is an inspiring book because, firstly, the photography in this book is matchless. No martial art book conveys the spirit of its art through photography better than this one. Secondly, its author is one of the premier grappling and sutemi waza specialists, and this book reflects his specialty. Thirdly, he is a bit of a philosopher, and it shows through in short sidebars throughout the book. His own story, in a brief chapter at the end, is inspiring, and shows that suffering, which is inherent in the sport aspect of Judo, produces a wisdom and a spirit and a character missing from those martial arts which dabble in the theory of movement without the suffering of defeat.

Extractions: Scrap Book Jigoro Kano (pictures right) was born on October 28, 1860 in Mikage, Japan. After having studied various forms of jujitsu, sumo wrestling, Kano developed his own art. In 1882, he founded the Kodokan School at the Eishoji Temple. His first students were: Isogai, Yamashita, Yokoyama, Saigo, Suzuki, Magoka, Mifune, and Tomita. Kano change the name of his art from jujitsu (which means "gentle art" or "gentle principle") to judo (which means "gentle way"). He made this change because, although Judo was mostly based on Jujitsu, he had wider aims and different techniques. Jujitsu often used violent and dangerous techniques. Also, Jujtsu was starting to be looked down on because of the professionalism involved. There developed, however, at the same time, a Jujitsu school under the instruction of Titsuka. In 1886, the Police Chief organized a tournament between the two schools. Out of 15 matches, the Kodokan won 13 and tied 2. This victory established the supremacy of the Kodokan's principles and techniques. The technical formula (the throws, holds, etc...) were completed 1887, while the spritual phase (maximum efficiency with minimum effort and mutual welfare and benefit) were completed about 1922.

The History Of Yudo Korea has a rich martial arts history that includes Various sports judo organizationwere created to govern and among the international and olympic competitors http://www.usyudo.org/resources/history.htm
Extractions: By Amaury Murgado Archaeologists have shown that cultural and technical advancement came to Korea through China. In turn, these advancements were later taken to Japan from Korea. Such advancements included unarmed combat techniques. It is no surprise then that Korea has a rich martial arts history that includes all types of fighting skills. Though many people are familiar with Korean-style kicking and punching, most are not aware of Korean strangling, joint lock, or throwing techniques. They may not even know that the Koreans have complete unarmed fighting systems. Yudo is one such system. During Korea's Three Kingdom Period, the Silla Kingdom (57 B.C. to 937 A.D.), developed specific throwing techniques for their Hwa Rang Do Warriors. Throwing techniques were also found in Taik Kyon, which could be considered Tae Kwon Do's predecessor. A primary throwing system, Kagju, was practiced in the Koryo Kingdom (918 A.D. to 1392 A.D.). Many of the specifics of these techniques (but not all) would end up being lost to martial art historians. Many of them would later surface, however, in the various styles of Jujutsu in Japan.

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.
