What are the characteristics of judo?

Judo wins the game by throwing its opponent to the ground. This is the only event in the Olympics that allows opponents to be subdued by choking or twisting their joints. Judo is a highly antagonistic competitive sport, which emphasizes the technical proficiency of players, rather than the comparison of strength.

Jiu Jitsu and Judo

Judo originated from Jiu Jitsu in ancient Japan. During the Meiji decade in Japan, Jana Jgoroh, a Japanese youth, borrowed the advantages of many Jiu Jitsu schools and created a set of technical system suitable for teenagers to exercise and facilitate self-defense, which was called "Judo" to distinguish it from other Jiu Jitsu.

With the efforts and vigorous advocacy of Jana Jgoroh, the earliest Japanese "Kodokan" was established in Yongchang Temple, Xinchang Street, Gu Xia, Tokyo, Japan on 1882 to train and teach judo. Soon, judo was widely spread all over Japan.

1895, Japan established the "Great Japan Wushu Association", vigorously publicized and popularized judo, and formulated unified judo competition rules. Judo has become a compulsory course for teenagers in Japanese schools since 1930. Judo is also taught in the army, police force and other places, and has gradually become a popular sport in Japan through various judo competitions all over the country. 1948, Japan held a judo championship. 1949, the All-Japan Judo Federation was established. 1949, the European Judo Federation was established. 195 1 In July, the International Judo Federation was established by Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Japan 12 countries. Headquartered in Tokyo, its president is Zheng Lu (son of Chigoro, Kingdom of Ghana).

From 65438 to 0956, the first World Judo Competition was held in Tokyo, Japan. 1964 In May, at the 18 Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan, men's judo was listed as an official Olympic event.

1984, the international Olympic Committee agreed to include women's judo in the performance of 1988 Olympic Games. 1992 In the 25th Olympic Games, women's judo was listed as an official Olympic event.

The position of judo

1884, Jana Jgoroh established the judo level. Judo is divided into ten stages and five grades, and the grades are distinguished by belt color. The belt from primary school to grade five is black, the belt from grade six to grade eight is red and white, and the belt from grade nine to grade ten is red. Those below the grade are called "grades", 1-3 is brown, 4-5 is white, and the belt worn by beginners without grades is dark blue.

At present, only a few people in the world have reached the status of red belt, but in order to distinguish easily in large-scale sports meetings, it is often stipulated that one party wears a white belt and the other party wears a red belt. At the Beijing Olympic Games, one side wore a white uniform and the other side wore a blue uniform. When practicing and competing in judo, you must be barefoot and wear judo clothes.

Extended reading

Sumo, called Su Dance in ancient times, originated in Japan, where two Hercules wrestled with each other naked. The more accurate written record of Japanese sumo wrestling is the Annals of Japan compiled in the early 8th century. It is described in the book that the 35th emperor (64 1-645) called court guards to hold a sumo contest in order to receive the envoys of ancient Korea's Baekje country.

Sumo later became Japan's national sport, Japan's international fighting and sports. As a professional competitive event, it is called sumo in Japan.

China and Japanese have sumo in history. Judging from some unearthed cultural relics, the image of China Jiaodi in Qin and Han Dynasties is very similar to the popular Japanese sumo. At present, sumo has always been regarded as a Japanese martial art. In fact, there was a similar "wrestling" in ancient China.
