Judo

History:

The history of this art begins with Jiguro Kano who developed the martial art sport in 1881. Having studied Jiu-jitsu at several schools, he developed it while seeking to develop a physical exercise system. And that is exactly what he did. Repeated practice can be very beneficial for persons seeking to increase or improve thier exercise routine. Exercise and sport are definately the foundations of this art, although Judo combat is not a far fetched idea. It's history also encompasses the early beginnings of females in martial arts. Judo women and girls began to infiltrate the sport in large numbers 1935 when it was starting to be taught in high shcool. The first woman practioner was Sueko Ashiya who was introduced despite criticism from society and experts.

Olympic induction came into existence in 1964. There were 74 participants from 27 countries. By 1992 in Barcelona the competition had grown to 437 participants from 93 countries. The Olympic weight classes have increased in number over the years. Beginning with the Tokyo Olympics, three weight categories were introduced in addition to the open category. The categories were expanded to six for the 1972 Olympics, and eight for the 1980 Olympics. In 1992 the open category was dropped from the Olympics, so there are currently 7 weight categories for both men and women in the Olympics.

Tae Kwon DO

History: Developed in Korea in the early 1950's by a group of leading martial artist. The aim was to help unify and establish their respective arts under a single discipline. Major-General Choi Hong Hi was credited as the founder in an inauguration ceremony on April 11th, 1955.

The history can actually trace it's roots back even farther to the Silla dynasty approximately 2000 years earlier. A style developed known as hwarang do. The meaning of which is "the way of the flowering manhood". The Silla dynasty created the fighting style out of necessity as they were constantly under attack from the other two neighboring Korean factions of the time.

When Korea was unified in the 10th century, Tae Kwon Do became compulsory for all young men to learn. This continued for hundreds of years, but slowly began to decline. Buddhist monks kept the tradition alive however. When Korea was occupied by Japan in 1909, the tradition was further suppressed. The art was able to survive however, through dedicated practioners who fled the country or practiced in secret.

In 1945, Korea was liberated, it's traditions were introduced on a national scale to help solidify national identity. Eventually the art spread worldwide and eventually became an olympic sport in 1988.

Today, TKD has become very popular and is one of the most highly practiced martial arts in the world. People from all over the globe study Tae Kwon Do techniques and history as devout enthusiast. Benefits of practice and study are abundant and continue to be realized as the sport grows ever increasingly.

Answer 6

Judo comes from Japan developed in the 1880's by Jigoro Kano

He had studied a few different types of jujitsu, and found it helped him develop his character as well as his body

Right around that time, the Japanese government, after being forced to open it's doors to the western world, became self conscious of it's image as a violent, warlike people, and so outlawed practice of martial arts, including jujitsu.  Kano, feeling like it would be unfortunate for the youth to lose the opportunity in character building that jujitsu would provide, developed a system which eliminated the most dangerous techniques, and focused on personal development, intended to be taught as a general physical education

he removed the "jitsu" suffix (art, skill, etc.), and replaced it with "do" (the way) emphasizing it's focus on personal development over martial applications, and "judo" was the result

he was thus able to continue developing and teaching his art in a time when the japanese government was suppressing the teaching of martial arts

he spent the rest of his life developing judo, and working to see it spread; instituting it in physical education programs in the schools, sending out students to demonstrate in other countries, and ultimately pushing for it to be included in the olympics

Answer 7

Ill give you the run down of both

Taekwondo: was made by korean general choi after the japanese left korea after the japanese occupation. General choi was first teaching karate to his soldiers, but he felt so ashamed that koreans had to learn a japanese martial art that he took a couple of years off to go and find all the great korean masters and unite all the korean martial arts into one. all of the martial arts were united under general choi and the name of the new martial art was called taekwondo. of course, tae kwon do does have karate in it, but its very distinct since feet are your main weapon in taekwondo. then general choi made ITF and it all was well until he died. the story (more like rumors to me but whatever) is that when general choi died, everyone wanted his son to take over, but someoen else wanted to take over, and so there was a dispute over who would take over. eventually taekwondo split even further and there are now TWO major organizations in the world: ITF and WTF. ITF taekwondo keept the original forms made by general choi and the style of fighting. WTF made new forms and the style of fighting is more involved with using your feet, more so than ITF, but be aware that both have the same techniques. the only real diffrence in ITF and WTF is the politics and the forms. (although WTF is the only one that can take you to the olympics because thats the style that the olympics recognize).

Judo: Judo was derived from juijitsu. Jigoro Kano belived that Juijitsu could be used more effectively if you removed the techniques that required brute force and concentrated on the techniques witch required less force and manipulation of momentum and your oponents center of gravity. what he developed became judo (literally meaning "the way of softness") and gained alot of following after the japan police held a contest between the most famous jujitsu school in the country against his kodokan judo. as you may realize, judo won. Judo gave opening to alot of arts which are based on judo. the most known is brazilian jiujitsu. over the years, judo has "watered down" since some schools dont emphazise ground techniques as much, or dont teach eye gouging, punches, basically the old techniques in judo (which are still keept alive thru the kata). they removed those techniques for two reasons (1) to make judo more safe for the practitioner and (2) to make judo more sports like so it can become more mainstream. but dont let that "watering down" fool you, judo is still a real good self defense martial art and extremely effective in a fight.
