The History of Judo 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.

History Jigoro Kano was the one to introduce Judo in Japan, in 1882. Its techniques derived from martial arts developed over centuries in various “Ju jitsu” schools. Jigoro Kano devoted his life to promoting the sport and training new athletes and thereby created a legacy for today’s generations. Starting in 1909 and for the next 30 years, Jigoro Kano participated in the Olympic Movement as a member of the IOC; he was one of Baron Pierre de Coubertin’s main associates. In addition, Jigoro Kano was the one to first propose the founding of the International Judo Federation (IJF) in the 1930s. The federation was finally established in 1951 by 13 European country-members. Today the federation counts more than 180 countries as its members. The first Judo International Championships took place in Tokyo in 1956, with 31 athletes/participants from 21 countries. The sport has since developed into several events, based on weight categories. Today there are seven categories for men and seven for women.  Men’s Judo was the first Asian sport to be added to the Olympic schedule in the 1964 Tokyo Games. Women’s Judo developed rapidly after the New York first World Championships in 1980 and it was added to the Olympic schedule in the 1992 Barcelona Games.

28. A Brief History Of Judo A BRIEF history OF judo. Modern judo has its origins in jujitsu, the firstJapanese member of the International olympic Committee and two years later, http://www.recgov.org/r&w/nihjudo/history.html

A BRIEF HISTORY OF JUDO Modern judo has its origins in jujitsu, a fighting art that can be traced back over a thousand years into Japanese history. Judo itself, however, is a relatively recent synthesis and owes it existence to the genius of one man: Dr. Jigoro Kano. Jigoro Kano was born in the seaside town of Mikage in 1860. He and his family moved to Tokyo in 1871. Mr. Kano studied politics and literature at Tokyo Imperial University. He became an instructor of the Gakushuin in 1882 and eleven years later, he was appointed the Headmaster of the Koto Shihan, a teachers' training school. In 1909, Professor Kano became the first Japanese member of the International Olympic Committee and two years later, he founded the Japanese Athletic Association and became its first president. Because of his many contributions in the field of athletics, Professor Kano is called the "Father of Physical Education and Sport" in Japan. Professor Kano is internationally known for the development of judo. Until he was 18 years of age, Jigoro Kano was physically weak. He resolved to improve himself by studying at two jujitsu schools. He soon realized that each school had its strengths and weaknesses. Because there was unnecessary roughness and crudeness in the jujitsu techniques, and because it was difficult to practice without injury he began to reconstruct jujitsu. As he states in his own words: "...so by taking together all the good points I had learned from the various schools and adding thereto my own devices and inventions, I founded a new system for physical culture and mental training." Kano called his new system Kodokan Judo to differentiate it from the jujitsu forms. "Judo" means "the gentle way" and "kodokan" generally means "a school for studying the way", "the way" being the concept of life itself.

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.

Posthumous Many articles have been written about the history of judo, and the reader is welcome to browse. It is not our intention to repeat what have already been said, but rather to point out the emphases from our point of view. Background - The Martial Arts Judo has one, clearly identified founding father - Jigoro Kano, and it's birth date is also clear - 1882. But the dynasty of judo is long and expansive and is related to the dynasty of the martial art in Japan and China, which has been in existence for thousands of years. The number of martial arts that have existed over the years is tremendous, and if we take into account the fact that these arts were passed from teacher to pupil, and thus divided into infinite schools, their number can be counted in the hundreds. The general name for many of these schools was and remain "Jujutsu", which means martial art. The goal of jujutsu was one: the decisive subduing of the opponent, sometimes meaning his death.

Despite the fact that judo means, "the gentle way," it is the only Olympic sport where choking and breaking an opponent's arm is legal. Wierdest Rule: According to the rulebook, judoka must "be clean and have dry skin and short finger nails and toe nails. They must also be free from body odor." While many other martial arts focus more on punching and kicking, judo is a mix of strength, flexibility, and using a competitor's strength, weight, and momentum against him or her. Technique and balance, rather than power, is the key.

35. SJBJC Judo History Page history of Kodokan judo. Dr. Jigoro Kano was born in the seaside town of olympic judo (male) competition was first held at the Tokyo Games in 1964, http://www.sjbjudo.org/JudoHistory.htm

History of Kodokan Judo Dr. Jigoro Kano was born in the seaside town of Mikage, Japan, in 1860. At the age of 18, he started studying the art of jujitsu in order to strengthen his body. 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. When the Kodokan was started, its dojo (exercise hall) consisted of 12 mats. The Kodokan Cultural Society was established in 1922 under the slogans: Seiryoku Zenyou (maximum efficiency) and Jita Kyouei (mutual welfare and benefit). These slogans represent the fundamental principles of judo. Initially the Japanese considered skill and technique (not force) as the main aspects for success in Judo. For this reason, early competitions did not have weight categories. 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.

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.

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.
