TERRACE BAY NEWS By Glen May A way of life With the collapse of the feudal system in the late 1860's, the islands of Japan cast to the wind most of the tradi- tional arts of hand to hand combat. An ordinance, prohibiting the samurai (knights) from wear- ing swords in 1871 started a fast decline of all martial arts, and ju-jitsu was no exception. Jigoro Kano, who was to be- come the founder of judo, was at that time a student at Tokyo Imperial University. A man of no sizeable physique, he found himself being bullied constant- ly by larger students. After hearing about ju-jitsu, an exercise by which a small man could defeat an opponent of herculean strength, he made up his mind to learn all he could about this form of de- fense. However, owing to social conditions at that time, most of the ju-jitsu masters had turned to other occupations, and he encountered difficulty in lo- cating a suitable teacher. Finally he met Teinosuke Yagi, an old master, who ini- tiated him in the rudiments of ju-jitsu. He later studied at oth- er schools and finally in 1882 he established his own school calling it Ko-do-kan, '"'school to study the way." There he taught his own ex- ercise, calling it judo, instead of Ju-jitsu. He continued to stu- dy at other schools to improve his own exercises until he at- tained a height unknown to ju- jitsu. Although Kano found ju-jitsu interesting and realized its ef- fective training of the body and mind, he did find that it was not devised for physical educa- tion or moral and intellectual training. It was exclusively de- vised for winning by most any means, By taking all the good points of the various schools, he added his own innovations, and ac- tually founded a new system for physical culture and mental training. This new form of unarmed combat was called Ko- dokan Judo. Kodokan Judo has wider aims are different, although it is gen- erally based on ju-jitsu. Where than ju-jitsu and its techniques ju-jitsu is often violent and dangerous, the emphasis in judo is on gentleness. The word judo, when translated, means "the gentle way." The Kodokan made fast prog- ress and won wide public rec- ognition, and in 1886 it gained undisputed leadership in_ its field. With social conditions in the country improving the old ju-jitsu schools were making a comeback, and Tokyo- Police took an active interest in the revival of ju-jitsu, as well as other martial arts. The new Kodokan Judo was the centre of attention. Every- one admired its slogans and high idealism, but its practical merits in combat were looked upon with doubt, and even con- tempt. The rivalry began between the two arts. In 1886 the Tokyo Chief of Police arranged a grand tour- nament between the two sys- tems. Defeat would have meant an end to Kodokan. There were 15 men picked for each side. Kodokan won all but two fights, and these ended in draws. This victory decided once and for all the supremacy of Kodokan Judo, not only in principle, but also in technique. The technical formula of Ko- dokan Judo was completed in 1887 while its spiritual phase was gradually built up until it was perfected in 1922. From there it spread all over the world. Today judo clubs are lo- cated all across Canada, Judo, which is actually a so- cial movement, carries the fol- lowing slogan: "Maximum effe- ciency with minimum effort and mutual welfare and hbene- ft Gene Doerrsam, one of Can- ada's leading judo instructors, summed it up by saying, "To know a_ technique is_ not enough, but to understand it and its principle or philosophy, is the ultimate desire of the true judoka or student. "Judo cannot be taught in 10 easy lessons for it is a way of life."
