Series Summary

Judo has an interesting history. During the 1880's in Japan, a little boy was picked on by his fellow students. Dr. Jogoro Kano, as he was later to be known, decided that something must be done. He began martial arts training to fend off these bullies, yet found most of the moves he learned just got him beat up even more. His fellow students where much bigger than Jogoro and simply overpowered him. Determined to be able to defend himself, he invented his own type of martial arts, one which uses an opponent's size and strength against them. Applying his new judo techniques, Jogoro was able to defeat these big bullies with a variety of throws, rolls and holds which turn an attacker's momentum into the defender's advantage. What better way to create a new form of martial arts? Even though Jogoro invented this type of martial arts for his own protection, thousands of followers have adapted his form of fighting.
