Probably in every European family there is at least one of its members whom practical or the JUDO has practiced. From when this sport has made its appearance in occident (approximately 70 years), million Italians have practiced and they preserve an excellent memory to it. It is an educational discipline and can be practiced from all the social categories, to whichever age and from ambo the sexes. In particular way it is practiced from children which can express oneself totally in the picture of a discipline not rigidly outlined and that one free concurs and wide expression of their vitality. It constitutes an excellent diversion to the daily life and being sport of physical and psychical equilibrium, it allows to who the practical one to free the natural aggressiveness and of control it; it power of attorney to the JUDOKA those self-control that it characterizes it. The JUDO draws origin from JU JITSU, ancient martial art of SAMURAI and optimal system of self-defence that introduces an enormous variety of techniques that, eliminated the mortal blows, are times to control the aggressor without destroy him. Often, the two disciplines come taught in complementary way, concurring with practicing to integrate the various techniques and possession therefore one complete acquaintance of the two main Japanese martial limbs. But exactly, what is the Judo?
In order to comprise the Judo he is in the first place indispensable to know the meant one of the same word and the martial art from which the Judo draws origin, that is JU JUTSU, called also JU JITSU. The Ju-jutsu term was in use already three or four hundred years ago. The Ju-jutsu (than literally wants to say practice of the flexibility) exactly was characterized from the flexibility second the theory " the flexibility gains brutality". Since the meant one of the word " Ju ", principle of the flexibility, is the idea-base of the Judo of our times is necessary to study it for primarily principle of the flexibility comes shortly explained therefore: of forehead to an adversary, it is gained yielding, that is not opposing resistance to its force, but to adapt oneself, and acquiring an advantage in order then utilizable just profit. As an example: - If a man pushes me with all its force, will be struck, if I will not make other that oppose me he, but if, instead resisting pushing, I withdraw more than how much he pushes to me, or if turn in the direction of the push, he will be protease in ahead from its same one rush, and will lose the equilibrium. If to that I join a particular technique, it will be enough easy for me do it to fall at the moment in which he loses balance .Il the principle of flexibility (JU) is based therefore on this concept. The Prof. Kano adopted therefore this susceptible principle and this word of being comprised from all the men of the world and, like evince from written its, to explain a moral of mutual aid well and for all. According to Jikoro Kano the concept of the maximum use of the mental and physical energy is fundamental not single in the Judo, but also in all the actions of the social life. Between the other this concept is to the base of good part of the philosophy oriental and is often cited also in instructions ZEN. Therefore could say that the objective is that one to teach to obtain the maximum turned out with the minimal effort. It can therefore be concluded saying that the Judo is the means that give way to catch up the massim
Result with the minimal effort. It can therefore be concluded saying that the Judo is the means that give way to catch up the maximum physical and spiritual efficiency

SCOPES OF THE JUDO

From the point of view of the physical education, the Judo is comparable to other sports of combat body to body that tend the all to the same scope also assuming various shapes. The Judo do not have mystical character, also having of the connections with the philosophy and the religions Orientals, neither are particularly dangerous. It is a sport that cans procurer joy and physical well being to all practicing, but motivated and followed from a valid one teaching. One of the great advantages of the Judo is that one can practicing everywhere and during all the year. Also contemplating the possibility to express oneself to agonistic level, the Judo can calmly be practiced also from who is not interested to participate to contests or, like often it happens, from who simply means the contest like an opportunity of verification of learned how much in the course of the years. In fact, the beauty of the Judo reside also and above all in the fact that it is of a real and not simulated combat and therefore a lot often to participate to agonistic he manifestations is a like to put oneself to the test and supporting a examination, first of all with if same and in the second place, with the adversary. To case many passages of degree do not happen to continuation of the result obtained in the agonistic within. Not therefore the contests like exasperation of the martial art, but like personal experience. As far as the adversary, is from emphasizing that before what that comes taught to practicing of Judo it is that one of the maximum respect for the adversary, than a lot often he is a training companion, which for no reason to the world it must receive physical damages during the training and/or the combat. Draft therefore not to only learn it to fall but also to make so that the companion falls badly without farces. Between the other, previewing the Judo also practical of the strangling and the articular levers (than they do not come however taught to the boys under the 14 years), this concept appears still more necessary one. Moreover it is obvious that, being the Judo a complete and real combat automatically is implicit uses it of the same one likes practical of personal defence. Not draft, in fact, to know some and outlined technical that very rarely come experimented in the life every day but of a continuous training to fighting and consequently, to answer to one potential aggression, in natural and instinctive way. Therefore, in the good schools, the Judo does not come only taught for pure scopes defensives, but like an pleasant sport exercise that brings to the body enormous effects benefits and, not holding account of the weight, the height and the force, it can easily be practiced from women, boys and men of any age. In any case it is absolutely from discredit the myth of the person of exile corporate that ago to fly without the minimal effort a giant. This is true when the small knows the Judo and the adversary larger well than he it knows it little or at all. Of against, to parity of technical and athletic preparation, it is obvious that a corporate person robust is benefited. To case by now from decades they have not been introduced the categories of weight in the agonistic Judo. Reassuming, it can be said that the hinges of the Judo are

ART

One serious and constant practice of the Judo power of attorney one noble and refined spirit. New achieves one be of high mind that gives way to face with initiative spirit, whichever difficulty of the life. Moreover, being based on technical petitioners the exercise of the physicist and the spirit that will develop one great force of will, apt to dominate if same and to control the adversary. The result is therefore a strong heart and resolute, a tenacious character, a judgment exact express and finally reflection faculty and imprudence Moreover, the same movements expressed from the Judo will give the possibility to acquire a remarkable aesthetic sense. E' by now ascertained that the practical one of this sport renders passionate and serious the students. To fight regularly and sport, to obey without arguments to the instructions given from the master and to the decisions of the arbitrator, debit greater prominence to the WAY (I GIVE) rather than to the result in the competitions, these are the rules that strengthen and illuminate the spirit of practicing. But the maximum artistic expression of the Judo is represented from its " Shapes " or Kata, which is the “ models “ of technique. The perfect acquaintance and execution of the Kata more give to the Judo something of the pure sport make to become true and own art.
SPORT The Judo is a shape of fight and for the precision a " body to body " where the contact with the adversary is implicit, knowing to take advantage of the best moment for an eventual projection (that it can happen indifferently is to right that on the left), comprehensive also of the fight to the ground. Therefore beyond to an obvious readiness of glares, it demands that the several parts of the body come used all. ... Achieves that to make oneself fit to the Judo, the muscles and the bonuses become more resistant and the inner organs are strengthened. The result, from the physical point of view, is a vigorous and harmonic body. Moreover it is from emphasizing the importance that comes given to the TAISO, that is the gymnastic of athletic preparation that comes carried out in order at least 30 minutemen before the true practical beginning of and the own one and that it consists in ginned exercises that demand the interest of all the several parts of the body.

 

PERSONAL DEFENSE

Like already said, the Judo is revealed most effective also in case of personal defence. If in the within of the agonise or the pure training in arena there are rules and conventions to respect, Between all the respect and the protection of the physical safety of the adversary, are obvious that, in case of personal defence, where all these cares come less, practicing than Judo has to its disposition an infinite possibility of techniques, experienced in arena in the course of the years, than in emergency case they are revealed in all the their value. To part the acquaintance of strangling and luxation techniques, does not have to forget that the judo she consists mostly in projections and that such projections come carried out on a TATAMI that mitigates the fall and, what still more important, practicing of Judo is accustoms to being projected and knows the way to avoid badly of farces. We think instead to an aggressor that comes made " to fly. It will be not only dealt for he of a traumatic experience from the psychological point of view, in how much not accustomed to being projected, but if to that we add a heavy and ravines " landing " on hard asphalt, we can renders account which defensive potentiality has this martial art.
Moreover, we do not have to forget that the Judo is composed of three groups: NAGE-WAZA (technical of projection), KATAME-WAZA (technical of " control " to means of immobilizations, articular strangling, levers) and ATE-WAZA (technical of blows capacities on the painful and vital points). This last group very rarely comes taught in arena in how much often comes privileged the athletic and agonistic aspect but it is integrating part of the program of Judo and all the black belts are held to know at least the basic principles.
