Basically, no one doubts that this concerns a popular Japanese sports discipline, which is managed by one international federation, and the whole world competes in championship tournaments and the Olympic Games. However, is there really only one type of <em>judo</em>? And is it only understood as this sports discipline?</p><p>The author cites facts showing the process of the parallel institutionalisation of other <em>judo </em>variants, appearing under different names. Firstly, there is the "European" <em>judo-do</em>, secondly <em>Kodokan</em> <em>judo </em>or <em>Butokukai</em> <em>judo</em>, complemented by techniques of <em>jujutsu </em>self-defence (Japanese <em>jūjutsu</em>) and finally today’s <em>Idokan judo</em>. The Idokan organisation has also been teaching <em>judo</em> in the broad sense for over 70 years as various methods of martial art guided by the principle of flexibility.</p> ER -
