Introduction
Judo, as a sport, has now firmly established itself in Britain. Since the end of the Second World War, clubs have sprung up in quite unexpected numbers all over the country.
The origin of ju-jitsu-from which judo ws evolved-is unknown. Most people accept the theory that the art was
Certainly the method of fighting used by the Japanese warrior cast was a crude form of ju-jitsu and, as the years went by, so the system was made more efficient; until the end of the nineteenth century, when the old feudal way of government was cast aside and a strong, modern, central government subsituted.
When this new era dawned, there was very little call for the services of the ju-jitsu teachers, and the majority of them were unable to remain in business, for the to learn ju-jitsu in those days was quite a dangerous undertaking, and when law and order were in operation, the need for instruction was not so acute.
At about this time a young man, one Kano, was making an intensive study of the various forms of ju-jitsu. He took the best tricks from each school and, adding a few of is own, he founded a new system: Judo.
Dr. Kano founded his school (the Kodokan) in 1882, and this venture secured support after one or two initial set-backs. The advantages of judo over ju-jitsu are that judo is safer to learn than ju-jitsu; and, of course, judo is practised as a sport rather than a method of disabling or killing an opponent.
Now, the Kano system of judo is the style that is accepted as the standard method, and as such is taught througout the world.
Ju-jitsu was brought to Britain by two Japanese, Tani and Uyenishi (better known as 'Raku') who gave demonstrations all over the country. The first amateur judo club was founded by G. Koizumi in 1918 and bore the name of the Budokwai.
There are over 300 judo clubs in Britain affilitated to the Amateur Judo Association, plus 5,500 individual members. should you be interested in further study of judo after reading this book, or require any further information on judo, then contact the Hon. Secretary at Blencathra, Old Farleigh road, Selsdon, South Croydon.
