Extractions: Judo History The origin of Japan's martial arts is vague, and what we know of it, is more legend than truth. However, the takenouchi-ryu martial art system founded in 1532 is considered the beginning of Japan's jujitsu forms. The system's founder taught jujitsu in a structured and methodical manner. For the next several hundred years, the martial arts were refined by Samurai who made a lifetime study of some twenty or thirty martial arts. Of these arts only one was based on weaponless self defense jujitsu. By the mid-1800's more than 700 different jujitsu systems existed. The most popular were takenouchi-ryu, jikishin-ryu, kyushinryu, yoshin-ryu, mirua-ryu, sekiguchi-ryu, kito-ryu, and tenshin-shinyo-ryu; the last two were instrumental in judo's development. It was during this time that Japanese politics disintegrated into disarray. Commodore Perry's visit to Japan in the mid-1850's also changed Japanese civilization by opening up a new world to them. In 1868 Imperial rule was restored (Meiji Restoration) and the decline of the Samurai class started along with a rapid decline in all martial arts. Although the government did not officially ban the martial arts, people were not encouraged to learn or practice them since the state was considered more important than the individual. Jujitsu literally fell into disuse. What was once the glory of the samurai was now looked down on and many well established jujitsu schools began to disappear. If the budo concept was to survive the Meiji Restoration, it had to change and become a tool to cultivate an individual and make him a better person for the good of all. As a result budo found a home in physical education and sport.

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. J udo 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.

"You sir, are the world's greatest athlete." Incidentally, Jim is purported to have replied, "Thanks, King" to the Swedish monarch, a story, true or not, which itself has become part of the Thorpe saga. Ever since, the Olympic decathlon champion or world record holder has been dubbed "the World's Greatest Athlete." And rightly so, since the decathlon is the only objective test of all around athletic ability. Decathletes must contest ten separate events and have those performances tallied on a standard scoring table. The decathlon measures basic sporting ability like jumping, sprinting and throwing. Within the backdrop and rules of track and field, decathlon champions must exhibit, the 4 S's: speed, spring, strength and stamina. Since 1912 great decathlon champions like Bob Mathias, Rafer Johnson, Bruce Jenner and Daley Thompson and others have become household names. But they all owe much to the legend of Thorpe.

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.

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.

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 of 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 Fukudo, Kano remained briefly with Master Iso before finishing his pupillage with Master Ilkubo.

Thanks in advance for your contribution! History of Judo Judo is a Japanese martial art. It was founded in the late nineteenth century by Dr. Jigoro Kano. Kano developed judo from jujitsu, a martial art which dates as far back as the eighth and ninth centuries and goes by many names. Jujitsu incorporates such techniques as throwing, joint locking, strangling, striking, and grappling. Kano, who was a jujitsu student, selected good points from various jujitsu schools of his time (there were over 700 in existence at that time) and founded a new system of combatives which he called judo, which means "the way of gentleness." In 1882, Kano founded the first judo school, called the Kodokan, in Tokyo. It had nine students. Early judo was similar to jujitsu in several significant ways, including dress, techniques, and philosophy. It was practiced as a martial art, in contrast to modern judo, which is considered a sport. After World War II, during a time when the allied occupation forces banned all Japanese martial arts, judo survived by touting itself as a sport, or another form of wrestling, giving it time to grow and develop. Sport judo survived and thrived as it spread through the post war years, but it was never able to recapture classical martial art traditions.

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.

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.
