History End of navigation path Begin of main content Competition Description Classification Qualification Criteria Rules ... History Judo was established in Japan in 1882 as a modern sport by Professor Jigoro Kano (1860-1938). He modified the traditional martial art techniques, defined jujitsu, into Judo, establishing a system based on an educational and sport mean. Professor Kano was the first Asian to be a member of the IOC and for 30 years he co-operated closely with the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Judo was used as an activity for developing motor-skills, self-control and independence for people with a disability. It gradually developed into a competitive sport. The first Pan-European Blind Judo Championship and the first International tournament were both held in 1987. Judo is the only Paralympic sport that originated in Asia and has been included in the Paralympic programme since the Seoul 1988 Paralympics.

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.
Extractions: From John Goodbody in Sydney The female icon of Japanese sport has done it at last by winning the Olympic title for the country that invented judo and regards it as their own. If Ian Thorpes gold medals were greeted with a mixture of delight and relief by Australia, then the victory of Ryoko Tamura generated similar emotions in Japan. Her triumph was headline news in Tokyo yesterday, as newspapers and television stations greeted her win with uncharacteristic fervor. The 10,000-capacity judo hall was packed with seemingly every Japanese person in the southern hemisphere, as spectators and more than 150 television cameramen and photographers struggled for access. Judo is the only sport Japan has given to the Games, according it special status in that country. However, Tamuras fame is founded on a newspaper cartoon strip, Yawara-chan, based partly on her life, in which a tiny girl once beat up thugs on the streets. As a teenager, Tamura, her pig-tails kept in place by red bows, once routed five boys in a fracas. The cartoon is a curious interweaving of fact and fantasy.

Extractions: There are more than 1,000 different forms of martial arts scattered around the world and dating back more than 2,000 years ago. When the martial arts started and where no one really knows. In our western culture we can date the development of martial arts such as archery and wrestling to ancient Greece. However there is evidence that martial art training dates to Babylonian times. In the far east development of the Oriental martial arts is a bit more obscure. It is generally accepted that the martial arts developed its roots in ancient China among the monks who used weaponless fighting techniques to protect themselves. It is not known which type of unarmed techniques were used first, but it is clear that specialization was the custom. Combinations of different forms of fighting were unknown. Despite the ruling classes wanting to keep unarmed combat techniques secret, through commerce and migration, the martial arts spread from China throughout the east. The earliest chronicle concerning the martial arts is the Nihon Shoki which discusses Japanese wrestling and dates back to 720 AD. Since then, the martial arts have developed into a variety of systems that were the precursors of today's modern martial arts. Despite the development of many types of weaponry, unarmed combat remains a skill practiced all over the world. 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.
