Abstract

This research intends to seek the coexistence of judo with sports after defining its concept which is not yet arranged. The examined contents are as follows. First, judo is to have the justice of literary and martial arts instead of simple mind of warrior by arranging the rational training method of physical body. Thus, judo can be defined as a justice of human being through literary and martial arts. Second, judo is a method to cultivate mind by questing the essential issue of self-discipline beyond the meaning of technique that decides victory and/or defeat and training technique as the justice of discipline. His thought like this was widely backed in the whole area of martial arts. Third, Kano jigoro stated judo as big universal justice. As long as judo is a universal justice, those who trains judo must understand the way of judo itself and cultivate themselves to the extent that they can achieve through judo. The universal value of judo can be explained in 3 items. First, to practice and cultivate oneself, second, to contribute to the state and society and third, to serve the world and human race; these ideals were taken as the goal of judo. Since these elements cultivate persons equipped with literary and martial arts through education, Kano jigoro grasped the possibility and succeeded such under- standing as learning. The external form of judo can be changed anytime, but the internal factor must not change in any case. It can be said that judo was established by Kano jigoro on the basis of this spirit presented by him. Thus, in order to accept judo set forth by Kano jigoro, it is required to understand, propagate and develop judo as scholarly value instead of one aspect of sports by grasping the educational thought devised and completed by Kano jigoro.
