Introduction History Asia's First Olympics The Winter Olympics The Nagano Games Asia's First Olympics The victory ceremony for the 18th Tokyo Olympics Judo Heavyweight Class: Isao Okano clinches the gold medal. 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.

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 official judo section created rather to show techniques of selfdefence and closer to ju-jitsu than to system done by Jigoro Kano came in 1949 in Sports Academy in Warsaw promoted by Czes³aw Borejsza and Tadeusz Kochanowski . 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.

Origin of Judo Judo was established in 1882 in Japan as a modern sport by Professor Jigoro Kano (1860- 1938) who was well aware of modern pedagogic and physical ideals. The formula of techniques of various jujitsu schools, which have been Japanese combative arts and systematized for hundreds of years were selected, refined, created and finally established as modern combative sports. Professor Kano devoted his life to the education and popularization of judo and laid the foundation of the present day judo. Since 1909, he contributed 30 years to the Olympic movement as collaborator of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. Judo, the only Olympic sport that originated in Asia, is unique and has a history of international character as an established sport, and it greatly owes to the personality and efforts of the founder, Jigoro Kano. Judo has by now developed into a modern Olympic sport. The origin and development of judo as a combative sport demonstrates the superiority of techniques over strength. Thus, the modern judo was developed, respecting its technical system and combative method. In judo various creations of techniques are possible and, at the same time, necessary by means of "Standing" and "Ground". Also coordination of the opponent. These points have established judo as a modern and dynamic sport, possessing a strong fascination. IJF History The foundation of an International Judo Organization was proposed by Jigoro Kano in the thirties. However, due to several reasons, it was not finalized until July, 1951, when the Congress of the European Judo Union established the International Judo Federation. In 1952, at the Congress of IJF in Switzerland, Mr. Risei Kano was appointed as President. Originally, IJF was composed of 13 member federations only from European countries. In the same year, in addition to that, 4 from Pan America, 1 from Oceania, 1 from Asia were affiliated to the IJF, which has led IJF to an international organization composed of 19 countries from four continents.

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 Japan’s 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.

Judo From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Judo ) is a martial art , a sport and a philosophy which originated in Japan . Judo was developed from Jujutsu , and was founded by Jigoro Kano . The sport became the model of the modern Japanese martial arts, gendai budo , developed from old koryu schools. Table of contents 1 History and philosophy 2 Techniques 3 Grading 4 Styles ... edit History and philosophy The early history of Judo and that of its founder, Japanese polymath and educator Jigoro KANO (1860-1938), are inseparable. Kano was born into a well-to-do Japanese family. His grandfather was a self-made man, a sake brewer from Shiga prefecture in central Japan; his father was not the eldest son and did not inherit the business, but became a Shinto priest and government official, with enough influence for his son to enter the second incoming class of Tokyo Imperial University. Kano was a small, frail boy, who even in his twenties did not weigh more than a hundred pounds, and was often picked on by bullies. He first started pursuing jujitsu, at that time a flourishing art, at the age of 17, but met with little success in part due to difficulties finding a teacher who would take him on as a serious student. When he went off to the University to study literature at the age of 18, he continued his efforts, eventually gaining a referral to Hachinosuke FUKUDA, ancestor of noted Japanese/American judoist Keiko Fukuda , one of Kano's oldest surviving students, a master of the Tenjin Shinyo Ryu. Fukuda is said to have emphasized technique over formal exercise, sowing the seeds of Kano's emphasis of randori, or free practice, in Judo.

Athens for Olympic Games of 2004 Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.

KIN RYU JUDO CLUB A BRIEF HISTORY OF JUDO JUDO Was founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, a Japanese educationalist. He had trained in several Jiu-Jitsu schools, but these only taught unarmed combat. Dr. Kano believed that if the dangerous techniques were removed, and a system devised to include a form of competition, this could be used in the Japanese education system to develop physical and mental improvement. Dr. Kano founded The KODOKAN Judo Club in Tokyo and started with a few mats and nine pupils. JUDO was brought to Europe by Gunji Koizumi, one of Dr. Kano's original students. He founded The BUDOKWAI Judo Club in London in 1918. The club is still a power in British JUDO long after the founder died. The British JUDO Association (BJA) was founded in 1948. The Association is recognised by The International JUDO Federation (IJF), The European JUDO Federation (EJU), The International Olympic Committee The Sports Council The National Coaching Foundation , and The General Council of Physical Recreation. Kin Ryu's junior and senior players are members of The British Judo Association (BJA).

39. Sacramento Judo Club History A Short history of Sacramento judo Club. Training became a serious study when newsof the sport of judo becoming an olympic event in the 1964 Tokyo http://www.cwo.com/~judo/sjc/sjchistory.htm

Sacramento Judo Club A Short History of Sacramento Judo Club I n 1935, a small group of young Japanese men began the rigorous physical workout of judo in Sacramento, California. Amid humble beginnings and surroundings, they were nonetheless inspired by the teachings of Jigoro Kano. Not much is known about the Sacramento Judo Club in those early years. Fear and suspicions gave way to prejudice of the "yellow peril" propaganda running rampant in America. A rise in the imperial empire, declining diplomatic ties with Japanese, and a world war looming in the horizon forced the early athletes to train within their own community. Undaunted by the political and social milieu of the times, they continued their training until forced to relocate to concentration camps in desolate areas of America. Many of the still nameless faces in this 1935 photograph served America heroically in the European campaigns of World War II. Those fortunate to return, found their families and friends spread over wide areas of the country. Few returned to Sacramento to begin anew, among them were Sensei Hiroshi Matsuda Sensei Teruo Ikemoto Sensei Ken Matsuo and Sensei Sakae Yamashita.

The history of Judo Back in 1860 Jigoro Kano - judo's founder - was born in Japan. During that time peasants used forms of ju-jitsu to defend themselves, and when he was 23 years old, Kano began instructing his own form of ju-jitsu.He called it Kano Judo. The judo, Kano showed his pupils was not just a sport but a way of life. He based his teachings around the principles of gentleness. In his own words, "Victory over the opponent is achieved by giving way to the strength of the opponent, adapting to it and taking advantage of it, turning it, in the end to your own advantage." Kano became the first Asian IOC member in 1912 and began to travel Internationally promoting judo as he toured throughout America and Europe. In 1938 Kano died of pneumonia but not before seeing Tokyo selected as an Olympic site for the 12th Olympic Games. However, because of the war, those Games were cancelled - and in the end it wasn't until the 1964 Games in Tokyo that judo became an Olympic sport. Some three decades later women's judo was included as an official sport at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
