Book Description

Judo is the 'gentle way' but has still managed to forge a route into the modern Olympics as a combat sport. It was developed out of jujutso (or jiu Jitsu) by Jigoro Kano, in a nineteenth century Japan then in the process of rejecting its traditional ways in favour of more western ideas. Its development evolved as a response, by Kano, to the culture of school bullying witnessed as a fourteen year old. He aligned the martial art with the concepts of Chinese Taoism to give it a philosophical edge, thus emphasising the idea that learning judo is a mental, as well as a physical, journey. So here's a great gift for the judoka and their sensei, or anyone who has plans to make, journeys to take, in the body or mind... 6 x 9inch (15.24cm x 22.86cm) dimensions. 110 pages.
