Kim's Martial Arts and Fitness Brentwood: 412.881.5066 | Cranberry: 412.716.7689 | [email protected] Judo Judo, literally, “the gentle way,” or,” the way of yielding,” is a Japanese martial art founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano in 1882 primarily from Tenjin Shinyo ryu and Kito ryu JuiJitsu. The various schools of JuiJitsu practiced in nineteenth century Japan were rooted in a martial tradition hundreds of years old. Schools differed in both emphasis and strategy, some focused on Nage waza, throwing techniques, others on Katame waza, ground techniques, still others on Atemi waza, striking techniques. Strategy varied from seizing the initiative with an immediate attack, an approach favored by Japanese swordsmanship; to harmonizing with an opponent’s attack, and by doing so, rendering it harmless. Dr. Kano was an undersized, sickly child who began his study of Tenjin Shinyo ryu JuiJitsu at the age of eighteen in an effort to improve his health under Fukuda Hachinosuke. Tenjin Shinyo ryu JuiJitsu assigned importance to achieving harmony with an opponent’s attack, yet also included grappling and striking techniques. Dr. Kano later studied Kito ryu JuiJitsu under Tsunetoshi Iikubo, which placed a strong emphasis on throwing techniques. During this time, Dr. Kano also undertook a systematic study of other schools of JuiJitsu, notably Sekiguchi ryu and Sigo ryu, Sumo, western wrestling and boxing and works such as the I Ching, the Chinese Book of Changes, and the Taoism of Lao Tsze. At the age of twentytwo, Dr. Kano integrated grappling and striking techniques gleaned from Tenjin Shinyo ryu, throwing techniques from Kito ryu, the results of his martial arts study into a new comprehensive martial art: Judo. In the course of doing so, he removed dangerous techniques which allowed full Judo is the way to the most effective use of both physical and spiritual strength. By training you in both attacks and defenses it refines your body and your soul and helps you make the spiritual essence of Judo part of your very being. In this way you are able to perfect yourself and contribute something of value to the world. This is the final goal of Judo discipline. Home Life & Legacy Martial Arts Calendars Multimedia Contact Us
