Chapter 1: Origins and Philosophy of Judo
The history of Judo and its founder, Jigoro Kano.
Judo is a modern martial art and combat sport that originated in Japan. It was founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882, who sought to create a system of self-defense that emphasized technique and skill over brute strength. The history of judo is closely tied to Kano's life and his vision for martial arts education.
Jigoro Kano was born on October 28, 1860, in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. As a child, he was weak and sickly, which led him to develop an interest in physical education and martial arts. Kano studied various martial arts styles, including jujitsu, which was a popular form of hand-to-hand combat at the time.
In 1882, Kano established his own martial art system and named it Judo, which means "gentle way" in Japanese. He combined elements of jujitsu with his own innovations and principles to create a more refined and effective martial art. Kano's goal was to develop a system that would not only teach effective self-defense techniques but also promote physical and mental development, character building, and mutual respect among practitioners.
Kano opened his first judo school, called the Kodokan, in Tokyo in 1882. The Kodokan became the centre for judo training and instruction and is still considered the headquarters of judo to this day. Kano's teachings and philosophy attracted many students, and the popularity of judo began to grow.
In 1886, Kano established the Kodokan Judo Institute, which served as the official governing body for judo. He developed a systematic grading system, known as the dan and kyu ranks, to measure a practitioner's progress and skill level. Kano also introduced a standardized set of rules and regulations for judo competitions, which laid the foundation for its transition into a sport.
Judo started gaining international recognition in the early 20th century. In 1909, Kano sent Mitsuyo Maeda, one of his top students, on a journey to spread judo worldwide. Maeda eventually settled in Brazil, where he taught judo and developed a style that would later evolve into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Judo was included as an official sport in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1964 when Tokyo hosted the event. It has since remained a regular Olympic sport, with both men's and women's divisions. Judo competitions are also held at various levels, including national and international championships.
Over the years, judo has continued to evolve and adapt. It emphasizes throws, grappling techniques, and ground fighting, with an emphasis on using an opponent's strength and momentum against them. Judo promotes discipline, respect, and the pursuit of personal growth, making it both a martial art and a sport enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.
