Abstract
Japan, home of modern combat sports, had a great influence on Hungarian martial arts. The early appearance of judo in 1906 contributed directly and indirectly to the creation of the Hungarian martial arts culture and combat sports systems. Although judo developed very slowly, it reached prominence at the end of 1960s. Thus, Hungarian combat sports culture was able to connect into international martial arts development when the ‘great boom’ of the Japanese martial arts happened. Judo clubs and dojos emerged and the judo federation as the base for the Hungarian development of Japanese martial arts such as karate, jiu-jitsu and aikido. Most martial arts have similar paths of development; therefore it is important to highlight the history of the oldest martial art, judo. The journey of judo can give direction to emerging modern sports.
