Introduction to judo
Judo history
Judo was founded by Yana Jgoroh in 1882. Jana Jgoroh studied Japanese Jiu Jitsu, an ancient martial art, and developed modern judo after improvement.
He deleted and modified some jujitsu skills to improve his efficiency and win while avoiding hurting his opponent. 1964 men's judo became an official Olympic event, 1992 added women's judo as an event.
"Softness" means not confronting the opponent's strength with strength, but using the opponent's strength to become your own advantage. "Tao" refers not only to methods or skills, but also to spiritual cultivation of good character.
The purpose of judo is to use physical strength and brain power effectively. Understand the meaning of life through mental and physical training when attacking and defending. Let yourself be a person-a person who has contributed to society. "-Jana Jgoroh.
One of the main points of judo is "using softness to control rigidity". Force is not judo, and there is no skill at all. Judo is to learn the skills of falling with less strength than your opponent, and use the strength of your opponent to your advantage by using the principles of mechanics.
Another purpose of judo is to "make good use of energy", which means to make the most effective use of mental and physical strength. To do this, we must learn to find opportunities and seize them from practice.
Judo is basically divided into nage-waza, Ne-waza and Atemi Waza.
Judo grade
Judo is graded by the color of the belt. When judo was founded, the belt was only divided into black and white. With the development of judo, the color of the belt indicating grades has also increased. The ribbon system used in different regions may also be different.
Generally white (beginners), yellow, cyan, blue, red, brown and black.
