Read the passage and choose the most suitable answer for the following questions.
In late 1882, Dr. Jigoro Kano opened the first school of judo in Japan. There was a popular sport in Japan at that time called jujitsu. Jujitsu had some techniques that could cause injury. Dr. Kano’s purpose was to develop judo just as a sport that was the physical and mental training of jujitsu without those techniques. Without the deadly locks and throws of jujitsu, the new sport judo became safe even for women and children.
Competitive judo demands the highest skill and strength. And it is only one part of this sport. To those who know it well, it is an exciting study. To active men and women, judo is an enjoyable way to keep fit. Boys are enthusiastic students of judo and enter junior competitions at an early age. Men and women compete separately.
Unlike karate, which uses both foot and hand blows, judo basically depends upon the use of balance to defeat an opponent. A person under attack does not block or punch his opponent. He may resist for a moment and then let go suddenly. This forces his opponent off balance and makes it easier to throw him.
Judo requires much physical training and instruction. Training often takes place in a gym area. In Asia, players practice on straw mats. In Western countries, a canvas wrestling mat can be used. The players wear cotton jackets and trousers circled by colored belts. A beginner wears a white belt and a more successful player a brown belt. Experts wear the black belt.
