An Introduction to the History of Judo
To understand true judo, we must go back to the origin and the ancient practice of the art in its earliest form. In Japan martial arts were the sole property of the samurai class during the feudal period. It was Dr. Jigoro Kano who combined the principles of the martial arts with techniques that he himself had developed and with a mental science program, thereby producing a newer art form called judo. Judo offers much to anyone wishing to study it.
