Why Do So Many People Enjoy Judo?
By Emily L.
What is judo?
Judo is a martial art based on jujitsu the traditional unarmed fighting style of the Japanese warriors or samurai. The difference between judo and jujitsu is when Jigoro Kano created judo he removed the more dangerous techniques that jujitsu has such as punching and kicking. Judo is performed on mats called tatami. Also when you are performing judo you must be in the uniform called a gi which is traditionally made from heavy white cotton.
Who Created Judo
Jigoro Kano is the creator of judo. He was born December 10, 1860 and past away on May 4, 1938. Jigoro Kano was only 22 years old when he created judo. He attained a doctorate degree in judo, a degree in equivalent to the 12 Dan awarded to the originator of judo only.
When Was Judo Created
In 1882 Jigoro Kano created judo for men, until it was made a demonstration sport for women in 1988. Then judo became an Olympic sport for men in 1964 but it did not become an Olympic sport for women until 1992.
