Freshman captures national judo title for U.S. colleges By Beth Applebome Binghamton University freshman Dmitry Lisenenkov has taken first place in the Judo College Nationals, earning the right to compete in the World Judo University Games. The win at College Park, Texas, is the latest in a series for Lisenenkov, who hopes the effort will eventually lead to the Olympics. Lisenenkov said he is still waiting for details on where and when the World University games will be held. In the meantime, he plans to compete from April 31 through May 2 in the Senior Nationals. If Lisenenkov places in the top three in that competition, he can qualify for trials for the 1999 World Championships, which he hopes will lead to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. "My main goal is to get to the Olympics," he said. "Hopefully in 2000 or 2004." An immigrant to the United States from Minsk, Belarus at age 10, Lisenenkov had an early start in the sport.

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

By EMILY NIPPS, Times Staff Writer Published August 8, 2004 Founded in 1882 in Japan, judo is a self-defense technique in which opponents use quickness, balance and pressure to win. Matches last five minutes for men and women, a change from previous Games when women's matches lasted four. A winner is decided by an ippon, the point needed to win, two waza-aris (half-points) or by a judges' decision based on who has the fewest penalties and most quality points. To get the ippon, an athlete can throw - knock the opponent on his back - hold the opponent on his back for 25 seconds or make an opponent submit by getting him in an arm lock or choke.
