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.

Contact email us at: umaa_uta@yahoo.com Welcome to University Martial Arts Association Website History of Taekwondo Hand-to-hand combat is as old as the human race. Although the origins of ancient martial arts are shrouded in mystery, it an undeniable fact that humans have always used their hands and feet for self-protection. By nature, humans have an instinct for self-preservation; if you threaten an infant, he/she will strike out with tiny fists in self-defense. Therefore, the first humans tended to engage in physical activities, either consciously or unconsciously, that enabled them to protect themselves against attacks from their enemies or wild animals. Since an attack could come from any direction at any time, early humans had to instantly and reflexively defend themselves from any possible attack. So for the first 500,000 years of their existence (the Instinctive Action Age), humans defended themselves instinctively with no conscious defensive techniques. Many times, they resorted to mere stone throwing.

"People and Events of T'aekwondo's Formative Years" by Dakin Burdick, 1996 COMMENTS: This is the most recent published version of my t'aekwondo with a few modifications. The article was published in volume 6, issue 1, of the Journal of Asian Martial Arts (1997), and if you would like to get a copy of that version, you should contact Michael DeMarco and the good folks at ViaMedia , who publish the Journal . Back issues were still available the last time I checked. The changes from that article on this website are: - Surnames have been uniformly listed last rather than mixing Asian and European conventions. - The footnotes have been removed. - Kwan names are listed in an unusual manner. If the diacritical marks had shown up here, this would be clearer, but... Chung Do Kwan is listed as Ch'ongdokwan Moo Duk Kwan is listed as Mudokkwan Ji Do Kwan is listed as Ch'idokwan Han Moo Kwan is listed as Hanmukwan Song Moo Kwan is listed as Sangmukwan Chang Moo Kwan is listed as Changmukwan - The order of Chong-Woo Lee's name has been corrected (thanks to Glenn Uesegi).

History of the American Butokukan General History The nature of the universe is constant change, a flux between harmony and discord; so it is with mankind. Even is our generation, the world community is greatly lacking in those virtues most crucial to humanity's survival; namely: self-discipline, self-confidence, tolerance and patience at the individual/personal level. Ancient records indicate the origin of systematized combative arts stems from the cradle of civilization in the pre-Egyptian Mediterranean area. However, each successive culture has incorporated its own psychological approach, and therefore technical modifications, to both armed and unarmed physical conflict resolution. This occurred because cultural variance is based in divergent psychological perspectives for conflict resolution, different social systems/conditions, and evolving technologies. China, long recognized as the mother of far eastern cultures, is credited with the rational organization and codification of oriental combative arts. Purportedly, the monks of the Shaolin monastery were instructed by an Indian monk (Ch.: Bokidharma/ Jap.:Daruma) in exercises which emulate animal movements and their psychological responses to confrontations with other species. Naturally, these took the form of attack and defense; activities associated with hunting or being hunted for food.

history philosophy terminology patterns ... contacts uob.tkd History of Taekwondo Well over two thousand years ago, when Kyoungju was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla, in what is now Korea, two giants were carved on the tower wall of a Budhist temple. The giants are facing each other assuming a fighting stance as if they were practicing a martial art. These giants undoubtedly represent the early developments of the modern art of fighting known today as Taekwondo. Records show that Taekwondo was practiced as early as about 50 BC. During this time, Korea was divided into three Kingdoms: Silla, Koguryo and Baekche. Paintings on the ceiling of the Muyong-chong, a royal tomb from the Koguryo dynasty, provide us with evidence of the practice of Taek Kyon, the earliest known form of Taekwondo. These as well as other paintings show unarmed combat using techniques that resemble those of modern Taekwondo, specially the use of the knife hand, fist and classical fighting stances. Although Taekwondo first appeared in the Koguryo kingdom, it is Silla's warrior nobility, the Hwarang, who are credited with the growth and spread of the art throughout Korea. Out of the three kingdoms, Silla was the first to be formed but it remained the smallest and less civilized. Silla's coastline was constantly under attack by Japanese pirates. King Gwahggaeto, the 19th monarch in the Koguryo dynasty line, sent armed forces to help his neighboring kingdom fight the pirates. It was at this time that Taek Kyon was first introduced to Silla's warriors class, taught directly and in secret to a few Sillan warriors by early masters of the art.

Photos by Allison Babka Burney/SLU Newslink. Olympic champion Bonnie Blair. ST. LOUIS The Olympic torch stopped at Saint Louis University Thursday during its historic journey to Greece for the 2004 Olympics. Celebrated speed skater Bonnie Blair carried the flame to SLU. Blair has won five Olympic gold medals, more than any other U.S. woman in summer or winter competition. Heading north on Grand Boulevard from Gravois Avenue, the massive Olympic entourage stopped at SLU for a brief celebration. Waving American flags and Olympic pennants, hundreds of people crowded around Busch Student Center to take photos of Blair as she held the torch high. The crowd surged with patriotism and pride. “I’ve never felt more American than right now,” said SLU student Mike Kulungowski. “This is a wonderful thing for me,” added Jesus Reyes, a member of the grounds crew at the University. “SLU is a beautiful place, and especially with the torch here, this is one of the best places I’ve ever been.” After the break, the flame continued northward on Grand to Natural Bridge Road. The relay ended in Forest Park Thursday evening, where a St. Louis Olympic Centennial Celebration and cauldron lighting were held.
