Jûdô
Jûdô is a martial art of Japanese origin, now practiced worldwide. A highly
evolved grappling art, it focuses on jûjutsu-derived techniques chosen for
their efficiency and safety in sporting competition. Jûdô athletic competi-
tions reward effective throws and groundwork that result in control of the
opponent through a hold-down, a sport-legal joint lock, or a choking tech-
nique that results in either submission or unconsciousness. An Olympic
sport since 1964, jûdô is a modern derivation of jûjutsu as interpreted by
founder Dr. Kanô Jigorô (1860–1938).
Kanô, one of the most remarkable figures in the modern history of the
martial arts, chose the term jûdô(sometimes rendered jiudoin his time)
quite deliberately. “Jûjutsu” he interpreted as “an art or practice (jutsu) of
first giving way (jû) in order to attain final victory” (Kanô 1989, 200); he
intended his jûdô to be not a contrast, but an expansion of this stratagem.
“Jûdô means the way or principle (dô) of the same,” he wrote (Kanô 1989,
200). He further explained that jûjutsu, as he experienced it prior to the
founding of his school, was the specific application to personal combat of
