Jigoro Kano and Olympic Judo Tickets


Jigoro Kano was born on 28 October 1860 and he offered his services in this world till 4 May 1938. Kano was the founder of judo. Judo was the first Japanese martial art to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport. Pedagogical innovations attributed to Kano include the use of black and white belts, and the introduction of Dan ranking to show the relative ranking between members of a martial art style. Well-known mottoes attributed to Kano include "Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit." In his professional life Kano was an educator. Important postings included serving as director of primary education for the Ministry of Education from 1898–1901, and as president of Tokyo Higher Normal School from 1901 until 1920. He played a key role in making judo and kendo part of the Japanese public school programs of the 1910s.

Judo Grading and Olympic Judo Tickets (II)


The highest grade judan (tenth degree black belt) has no formal requirements and is decided by the president of the Kodokan, currently Kano Jigoro's grandson Yukimitsu Kano. As of 2011, fifteen Japanese men have been promoted to this rank by the Kodokan, three of whom are still alive; the IJF and Western national federations have promoted another seven who are not recognized by the Kodokan. On July 28, 2011, the promotion board of USA Judo awarded Sensei Keiko Fukuda the rank of 10th dan, she is the first woman to be promoted to judo's highest level.
Although dan ranks tend to be consistent between national organizations there is more variation in the kyū grades, with some countries having more kyū grades. Although initially kyūgrade belt colours were uniformly white, today a variety of colours are used. The first black belts to denote a Dan rank in the 1880s, initially the wide obi was used; as practitioners trained in kimono, only white and black obi were used. It was not until the early 1900s, after the introduction of the judogi, that an expanded colored belt system of awarding rank was created.

Judo Grading and Olympic Judo Tickets


Judo is a heirarchical art, where seniority of judoka is designated by what is known as the kyu (kyū)-dan (dan) ranking system. This system was developed by Jigoro Kano based on the ranking system in the board game Go. Beginning students progress through kyu grades towards dan grades.
A judoka's position within the kyu-dan ranking system is displayed by the color of their belt. Beginning students typically wear a white belt, progressing through descending kyu ranks until they are deemed to have achieved a level of competence sufficient to be a dan grade, at which point they wear the kuro obi (black belt). The kyu-dan ranking system has since been widely adopted by modern martial arts. Olympic Judo Tickets are being sold at Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates.

Judogi (uniform) and Olympic Judo Tickets (II)


The modern use of the blue judogi for high level competition was first suggested by Anton Geesink at the 1986 Maastricht IJF DC Meeting. For competition, a blue judogi is worn by one of the two competitors for ease of distinction by judges, referees, and spectators. In Japan, both judoka use a white judogi and the traditional red obi (based on the colors of the Japanese flag) is affixed to the belt of one competitor. 
Outside Japan, a colored obi may also be used for convenience in minor competitions, the blue judogi only being mandatory at the regional or higher levels, depending on organization. Japanese practitioners and traditionalists tend to look down on the use of blue because of the fact that Judo is considered a pure sport, and the replacing the pure white judogi for the impure blue, is an offence.
For events organized under the auspices of the International Judo Federation (IJF), judogi have to bear the IJF Official Logo Mark Label. This label demonstrates that the judogi has passed a number of quality control tests to ensure it conforms to construction regulations ensuring it is not too stiff, flexible, rigid or slippery to allow the opponent to grip or to perform techniques.

Judogi (uniform) and Olympic Judo Tickets




Judo practitioners traditionally wear white uniforms called judogi (judo uniform), sometimes abbreviated as gi. The judogi was created by Kano in 1907, and similar uniforms were later adopted by many other martial arts. The modern judogi consists of white or blue cotton drawstring pants and a matching white or blue quilted cotton jacket, fastened by an obi (belt), coloured to indicate rank. The jacket is intended to withstand the stresses of grappling and, as a result, is much thicker than that of a karategi (karate uniform). Judogi are designed to allow an opponent to hold onto it, while karategi are made from slicker material so that an opponent cannot get a grip on the material.

Judoka and Olympic Judo Tickets


A practitioner of Judo is known as a Judoka (jūdōka, Judo practitioner), though traditionally only those of 4th Dan or higher were called "Judoka". The suffix -ka, when added to a noun, means a person with expertise or special knowledge on that subject. Other practitioners below the rank of 4th Dan used to be called kenkyu-sei (trainees). The modern meaning of Judoka refers to a Judo practitioner of any level of expertise.
A Judo teacher is called sensei. The word sensei comes from sen or saki (before) and sei (life) i.e. one who has preceded you. In Western dojo, it is common to call any instructor of Dan grade sensei. Traditionally, that title was reserved for instructors of 4th Dan and above.

Judo Throws and Olympic Judo Tickets


A properly applied throw performed in a controlled way should protect the opponent from injury. However injuries may result if, for example, the thrower (Tori) lands on the opponent (Uke) as a result of a sloppy or intentionally malicious throw, or if the tori performs a sloppy throw with disregard for uke's joints (e.g., improper Osoto gari or Tai otoshi applied with lateral force to the knee; or sloppy Soto makikomi or "drop" Ippon seoi nage resulting in excessive forces into uke's shoulder).
To best prevent throwing injuries, proper throwing techniques should be thoroughly drilled by teachers before entering students into competition via "fitting-in" drills (Uchi-komi's), prearranged forms (e.g., Nage-no-kata), and intense but controlled & supervised free-practice/sparring (Randori).

Penalties in Judo


The first penalty is a warning, which is noted on the scoreboard. The second penalty is scored as "yuko" for the opponent. The third penalty is scored as "waza-ari". The fourth penalty is called "hansoku make," and is scored as an "ippon" for the opponent. With a "hansoku make" the match ends permanently. One can also get a direct "hansoku make" for serious rule violations. In this case, the player who got "hansoku make" is disqualified from the tournament.

Representation of Scores in Judo


Judo scoreboards show the number of waza-ari and yuko scores scored by each player. A score of koka was also displayed until its use was abandoned in 2009. Often an ippon is not represented on the scoreboard, because upon award of an ippon the match is immediately terminated. Some computerized scoreboards will briefly indicate that an ippon has been scored.
Scoreboards normally also show the number of penalties imposed on each player, and sometimes the number of medical visits for each. Only two "medical" attentions are allowed for each competitor during a match most often for minor bleeds. Electronic scoreboards also usually include timers for measuring both competition time and osaekomi time.

Judo Competition Scoring


A throw that places the opponent on his back with impetus and control scores ippon, winning the contest. A lesser throw, where the opponent is thrown onto his back, but with insufficient force to merit an ippon, scores waza-ari. Two scores of waza-ari equal ippon (waza-ari awasete ippon) a throw that places the opponent onto his side scores yuko. No amount of yukos equals a waza-ari, they are only considered in the event of an otherwise tied contest.
Ippon is scored in ne-waza for pinning an opponent on his back with a recognized osaekomi-waza for 25 seconds or by forcing a submission through shime-waza or kansetsu-waza. A submission is signaled by tapping the mat or the opponent at least twice with the hand or foot, or by saying maitta (I surrender). A pin lasting for less than 25 second but more than 20 second scores waza-ari and one lasting less than 20 seconds but more than 15 second scores yuko.
Formerly, there was an additional score that was lesser to yuko, that of Koka. This has since been removed. If the scores are identical at the end of the match, the contest is resolved by the Golden Score rule. Golden Score is a sudden death situation where the clock is reset to match-time, and the first contestant to achieve any score wins. If there is no score during this period, then the winner is decided by Hantei, the majority opinion of the referee and the two corner judges.

Current International Contest Rules of Judo


The traditional rules of judo are intended provide a basis under which to test skill in Judo, while avoiding significant risk of injury to the competitors. Additionally, the rules are also intended to enforce proper reigi (etiquette).
Penalties may be given for being inactive during the match, or for using illegal techniques. Fighting must be stopped if a participant is outside the designated area on the mat (tatami). If the referee and judges need to discuss something during groundwork, the referee will call sono-mama (used in the sense "do not move", literally "as-is") and both fighters must stop in the position they are in. When they are done, the referee says yoshi and the match continues.
All scores and penalties are given by the referee. The judges can make a decision that changes the score or penalty given by the referee.
There are slight differences to IJF rules to accommodate blind judo.  Now for London Olympics, Olympic Judo Tickets are being sold at Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates.

History of competitive Judo (II)


The All-Japan Judo Championships (Zennihon judo senshuken taikai) were first held in 1930 and have been held every year, with the exception of the wartime period between 1941 and 1948, and continue to be the highest profile tournament in Japan.
Judo's international profile was boosted by the introduction of the World Judo Championships in 1956. The championships were initially a fairly small affair, with 31 athletes attending from 21 countries in the first year. Competitors were exclusively male until the introduction of the Women's Championships in 1980, which took place on alternate years to the Men's Championships. The championships were combined in 1987 to create an event that takes place annually, except for the years in which Olympic Games are held. Participation has steadily increased such that, in the most recent championships in 2011, 871 competitors from 132 countries took part.

History of competitive Judo

Contest ( shiai) is a vitally important aspect of Judo. Early examples include the Kodokan Monthly Tournament (Tsukinami shiai) and the biannual Red and White Tournament (Kohaku jiai), both of which started in 1884 and continue to the present day.
In 1899 a committee of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai chaired by Jigoro Kano drew up the first formal set of rules for Judo contests. Wins were by two ippons, awarded for throwing the opponent onto his back or by pinning them on their back for a "sufficient" amount of time or by submission. Submissions could be achieved via shime-waza or kansetsu-waza. Finger, toe and ankle locks were prohibited. Contests were set at 15 minutes long. In 1900, these rules were adopted by the Kodokan with amendments made to prohibit all joint locks for kyu grades and added wrist locks to the prohibited kansetsu-waza for dan grades. It was also stated that the ratio of tachi-waza to ne-waza should be between 70% to 80% for kyu grades and 60% to 70% for dan grades.
In 1916, additional rulings were brought in to further limit kansetsu waza with the prohibition of ashi garami and neck locks, as well as does jime. These were further added to in 1925, in response to Kosen Judo ( Kōsen jūdō), which concentrated on ne waza at the expense of tachi waza. The new rules banned all remaining joint locks except those applied to the elbow and prohibited the dragging down of an opponent to enter ne waza.

Judo Kata


Kata are pre-arranged patterns of techniques and in judo, with the exception of the Seiryoku-Zen'yo Kokumin-Taiiku, they are all practiced with a partner. Their purposes include illustrating the basic principles of judo, demonstrating the correct execution of a technique, teaching the philosophical tenets upon which judo is based, allowing for the practice of techniques that are not allowed in randori, and to preserve ancient techniques that are historically important but are no longer used in contemporary judo.

Judo Free Practice (Randori)


Judo pedagogy emphasizes randori (literally "taking chaos", but meaning "free practice"). This term covers a variety of forms of practice, and the intensity at which it is carried out varies depending on intent and the level of expertise of the participants. At one extreme, is a compliant style of randori, known as Yakusoku geiko (prearranged practice), in which neither participant offers resistance to their partner's attempts to throw. A related concept is that of Sute geiko (throw-away practice), in which an experienced judoka allows himself to be thrown by his less-experienced partner. At the opposite extreme from yakusoku geiko is the hard style of randori that seeks to emulate the style of Judo seen in competition. While hard randori is the cornerstone of Judo, over-emphasis of the competitive aspect is seen as undesirable by traditionalists if the intent of the randori is to "win" rather than to learn.
Randori is usually limited to either tachi waza (standing techniques) or ne waza (ground work) and, when one partner is thrown in tachi waza randori, practice is resumed with both partners on their feet.

Judo Grappling Techniques (Katame-waza)

Katame-waza is further categorized into osaekomi-waza (holding techniques), in which tori traps and pins uke on his back on the floor; shime-waza (strangulation techniques), in which tori attempts to force a submission by choking or strangling uke; and kansetsu-waza (joint techniques), in which tori attempts to submit uke by painful manipulation of his joints.
A related concept is that of ne-waza (prone techniques), in which waza are applied from a non-standing position. Judo fans can buy Olympic Judo Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates.

Judo Throwing Techniques (Nage Waza)


Nage waza include all techniques in which tori attempts to throw or trip uke, usually with the aim of placing uke on his back. Each technique has three distinct stages:
  • Kuzushi, the initial balance break;
  • Tsukuri, the act of turning in and fitting into the throw;
  • Kake, the execution and completion of the throw.

Nage waza are typically drilled by the use of uchi komi, repeated turning-in, taking the throw up to the point of kake. Traditionally, nage waza are further categorised into tachi-waza (standing techniques), throws that are performed with tori maintaining an upright position, and sutemi-waza (sacrifice techniques), throws in which tori sacrifices his upright position in order to throw uke.
Tachi-waza are further subdivided into te-waza (hand techniques), in which tori predominantly uses his arms to throw uke; koshi-waza (hip techniques) throws that predominantly use a lifting motion from the hips; and ashi-waza (foot and leg techniques), throws in which tori predominantly utilises his legs.

Judo Techniques

There are three basic categories of waza (techniques) in Judo: nage-waza (throwing techniques), katame-waza (grappling techniques) and atemi-waza (striking techniques). Judo is most known for nage-waza and katame-waza.
Judo practitioners typically devote a portion of each practice session to ukemi (break-falls), in order that nage-waza can be practiced without significant risk of injury. Several distinct types of ukemi exist, including ushiro ukemi (rear breakfalls); yoko ukemi (side breakfalls); mae ukemi (front breakfalls); and zenpo kaiten ukemi (rolling breakfalls)
The person who performs a waza is known as tori (literally "taker") and the person to whom it is performed is known as uke (literally "receiver").Judo fans can buy Olympic Judo Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates.

Founding of the Kodokan


In February 1882, Kano founded a school and dojo at the Eisho-ji, a Buddhist temple in what was then the Shitaya ward of Tokyo (now the Higashi Ueno district of Taitō ward). Iikubo, Kano's Kitō-ryū instructor, attended the dojo three days a week to help teach and, although two years would pass before the temple would be called by the name Kodokan ("place for expounding the way", and Kano had not yet received his Menkyo (certificate of mastery) in Kitō-ryū, this is now regarded as the Kodokan founding.
The Eisho-ji dojo was a relatively small affair, consisting of a twelve mat training area. Kano took in resident and non-resident students, the first two being Tsunejiro Tomita and Shiro Saigo.  In August, the following year, the pair were granted shodan (first rank) grades, the first that had been awarded in any martial art.

The Fonder of Judo (II)


In 1877, as a student at the Tokyo-Kaisei school soon to become part of the newly-founded Tokyo Imperial University, Kano learned that many jujutsu teachers had been forced to pursue alternative careers, frequently opening Seikotsu-in (traditional osteopathy practices). After inquiring at a number of these, Kano was referred to Fukuda Hachinosuke (c.1828–1880), a teacher of the Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū of jujutsu, who had a small nine mat dojo where he taught five students. Fukuda is said to have emphasized technique over formal exercise, sowing the seeds of Kano's emphasis on randori (randori?, free practice) in Judo.
On Fukuda's death in 1880, Kano, who had become his keenest and most able student in both randori and kata (katapre-arranged forms), was given the densho (scrolls) of the Fukuda dojo. Kano chose to continue his studies at another Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū school, that of Iso Masatomo (c.1820–1881). Iso placed more emphasis on the practice of kata, and entrusted randori instruction to assistants, increasingly to Kano. Iso died in June 1881 and Kano went on to study at the dojo of Iikubo Tsunetoshi (1835–1889) of Kitō-ryū. Like Fukuda, Iikubo placed much emphasis on randori, with Kitō-ryū having a greater focus on nage-waza (throwing techniques).

The Fonder of Judo


The early history of judo is inseparable from its founder, Japanese polymath and educator Jigoro Kano (Kanō Jigorō, 1860–1938), born Shinnosuke Kano. Kano was born into a relatively affluent family. His father, Jirosaku, was the second son of the head priest of the Shinto Hiyoshi shrine in Shiga Prefecture. He married Sadako Kano, daughter of the owner of Kiku-Masamune sake brewing company and was adopted by the family, changing his name to Kano, and ultimately became an official in the Bakufugovernment
Jigoro Kano had an academic upbringing and, from the age of seven, he studied English, Japanese calligraphy (shodō) and the Four Confucian Texts (Shisho) under a number of tutors. When he was fourteen, Kano began boarding at an English-medium school, Ikuei-Gijuku in Shiba, Tokyo. The culture of bullying endemic at this school was the catalyst that caused Kano to seek out a Jujutsu (Jūjutsu)dojo (dōjō, training place) at which to train.

Philosophy of Judo


The philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed for judo became the model for other modern Japanese martial arts that developed from koryū. The worldwide spread of judo has led to the development of a number of offshoots such as Sambo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Practitioners of judo are called judoka.
