Judo Study Guide

The Philosophy of Judo

Modern judo was founded by Professor Jigoro Kano in 1882.  A descendent of the martial art of jujitsu, judo means “the gentle way” - the “gentleness” describing the abstinence from weapons and the “way”, or philosophy, describing the control of force.  Rather than emphasizing brute strength against brute strength, judo stresses the importance of using an opponent’s strength to one’s advantage, for example, pulling an opponent when they push and pushing an opponent when they pull.  This is what is meant by “the gentle way” - meeting forces with gentleness.  Another similar philosophical thought is softness can overcome hardness.  This was Jigoro Kano’s emphasis on the strategy of “giving way”.  Instead of meeting an opponent head-on, one gives way using the opponent’s own strength to defeat them self.  Kano took a great interest in executing martial skills in the most energy efficient way.  His development of modern judo therefore was based on the premise of maximum efficiency with minimal effort. Today judo continues to be one of the most popular sports in the world.  Recent information provided by the International Judo Federation (IJF) indicated that 178 National Federations over 5 continents are currently practicing judo.  Since its inauguration into the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo (1964), the popularity of judo has grown and has attracted worldwide attention as a competitive international sport.

Judo Competition Summary

                The premise of judo competition is to score an ippon or full point against your opponent within the designated time limit.  Matches typically have a 5 minute limit.  An ippon can be accomplished by throw, pin, choke, or arm bar techniques.  Throwing techniques are judged and scored according to the degree of effectiveness (form and speed).  Pinning is accomplished by controlling an opponent on their back for 25 seconds.  Smaller points may be awarded for a pin depending on how long the pin is in effect.  Arm lock and choking techniques score ippon by submission from your opponent (two taps) or when the referee feels the opponent is in submission.  Penalties are also implemented to encourage fair play and safety.  Penalties may be enforced in a number of situations including stalling and execution of illegal techniques.  Matches are judged by one main judge and two side judges.  In cases where a match ends in a tie, the side judges help decide the winner.  Side judges may also override the main judge’s scores and penalties.
