Meet Jack. In 1951 he attended his initial judo course. Sixty seven years later he is currently the earliest judo sensei in Britain, and has instructed 3 generations the martial art. At 94 he can still remove his challengers, and also concerns judo not equally as a sporting activity but a way of living: a mental activity as high as a physical one. One of the most important thing for his students to find out, he claims, is regard: “Respect for their teacher. Regard for the person you’re busy tossing.”

Judo DoJo

Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
