Judo Books

 

Judo, translated as the "gentle way," is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport founded by Jigoro Kano in the late 19th century. Rooted in traditional Japanese jujutsu, Judo emphasizes the principles of maximum efficiency and mutual benefit, making it both a practical self-defense system and a path to physical fitness, mental discipline, and personal development.

The history of Judo begins with its founder, Jigoro Kano, a scholar and martial artist who sought to create a system of combat that could be practiced safely and effectively by people of all ages and abilities. Drawing from his studies of various jujutsu styles, as well as Western wrestling and physical education methods, Kano developed Judo as a synthesis of the most effective techniques for throwing, grappling, and ground fighting.

In 1882, Kano founded the Kodokan, a martial arts school in Tokyo, where he began teaching his new system of Judo. The Kodokan became the epicenter of Judo training and innovation, attracting students from Japan and around the world. Kano's emphasis on randori (free practice) and the systematic study of techniques through kata (pre-arranged forms) laid the groundwork for Judo's development as both a martial art and a competitive sport.

One of the defining moments in Judo's history came in 1964 when it was included as an official Olympic sport in the Tokyo Olympics. This milestone elevated Judo's status on the world stage and led to its widespread adoption as a competitive sport, with international tournaments, championships, and a thriving community of practitioners and enthusiasts.

Today, Judo is practiced by millions of people in countries across the globe, from children learning discipline and respect to adults seeking physical fitness and self-defense skills. Its techniques, which include throws, pins, joint locks, and strangles, are taught in dojos and schools worldwide, with an emphasis on the art's core principles of seiryoku zenyo (maximum efficiency) and jita kyoei (mutual benefit).

Judo's influence extends beyond the realm of martial arts, with its emphasis on respect, discipline, and self-improvement resonating in various aspects of life. Whether practiced for sport, self-defense, or personal development, Judo continues to embody the spirit of harmony, balance, and mutual respect that its founder envisioned over a century ago.
