Judo (joo'
doh) (Jp. "gentle way", "the way of suppleness/pliancy/flexibility").
A Japanese martial art emphasizing grappling techniques based on the
notion that softness overcomes hardness. Although the term had been in
limited use during the Tokugawa era, Judo in its modern form was
founded by Professor Jigaro Kano in 1882, during the Meiji period. Both
an art of self-defense and a sport which has enjoyed Olympic
recognition since 1964, judo is practiced in almost every country in
the world. Judo, which derives from jujutsu, rests upon the principal
of turning an opponent's strength to one's own advantage and overcoming
by skill rather than by strength alone. Although not the only strategic
element, a primary principal of judo is that of taking of advantage of
aggressive force by giving way rather than resisting it--hence the
terminology "soft" or "yielding" way.
Jigaro Kano's Judo would not be complete without citing the two basic
ideas of Judo:
1. Maximum efficiency with minimum
effort and
2. Mutual benefit
Practice which follows these principles is good judo; practice which
neglects either is not.
