    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Sports and scientific judo aspects in CISM (Conseil International du Sport Militaire) – 1966–2011 Authors’ Contribution: Kurt Rüegg1, Anna Kuzawińska Rüegg2, Bartłomiej Jan Barczyński3 A Study Design B Data Collection 1 Graduate Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich), Switzerland C Statistical Analysis 2 Physical Education and Sport Section, General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, Warsaw, Poland D Manuscript Preparation 3 E Funds Collection Index Copernicus International, Warsaw, Poland Source of support: Departmental sources Received: 31 October 2012; Accepted: 29 November 2012; Published online: 31 December 2012 Abstract Background Utilitarian values of judo are not questioned by specialists of combat sport or martial arts. Unfortunately what is and Study Aim: promoted in electronic media is combat sport and martial arts based on heavy action measures (boxing, kick-box- ing, MMA etc.). Especially promoters of the most brutal fights between people persistently try to give them the status of the sport. Judo is the opposite of action allowing any forms of the brutalization. In motor aspect the prin- ciple of gentle action is applicable to championship fights and randori, formal exercises (kata) and necessary self- defence. Hence the popularity and the promotion of judo in armies around the world is also an indirect manifest- ing of disapproval of brutal fights in cages or anywhere else. The aim of this study is sport and scientific aspects of judo as an example of the possibility of promoting by the international association an idea of harmonious devel- opment of man using as the main mean of education fight against another man, which relies on direct confronta- tion, however under the condition of control force used on the opponent body.

  • High Level Sport in the German Armed Forces - Organization and Impact on Military Sport
    HIGH LEVEL SPORT IN THE GERMAN ARMED FORCES - ORGANIZATION AND IMPACT ON MILITARY SPORT Colonel G.S.Christian KRAMP, Germany It is a great honour for me to give some information to this audience from the German point of view. My briefing covers two areas: While part one explains everything around the subject "High Level Sport in the German Armed Forces" the second part will very briefly touch the given or assumed consequences on military sport and on CISM activities. I am presenting my view with the background as Chief of the German Delegation to CISM and as Division Chief for Training in the German Armed Forces Office, being also responsible for all kind of sport in the armed forces. Although I tried to make it as short as possible the lecture might slightly extend the foreseen timeframe. Be patient. Before I'll go into details I'd like to make some preliminary remarks which will set the frame: 1. Promotion of High Level Sports in our Armed Forces is not a core function. That means our Armed Forces are designed for selfdefence,, out-of-area mission etc. but not for promotion of High Level Sport. This has direct influence on the funds available. 2. Sports for all is of great importance for the military fitness of the individual soldier, high level sport is not. 3. It must be allowed to question if the input-output-relation doesn't fulfill the expectations. 4. I'd like to recall what kind of vision and goals we ourselves have set up as the guideline for all our activities.

    1968 U.S. Olympic Team Oral History Project: Transcript of Interview Interviewer: Thomas Hunt Narrator: Colonel Jim Moore, 1964 and 1968 Olympic Games, Modern Pentathlon Interview Date: February 7, 2011 Transcription: March 3, 2011 begin recording [Thomas Hunt:] As we start, I had a few, sort of, just entry biographical questions and we wanted to get a sense for how you got involved first in the modern pentathlon and where you grew up and things like that. And I should say that this interview is to get as much information as we can about your vision for the legacy of the 1968 Games and what they mean to you. So I am going to be silent as much as possible so that you can talk as much as possible, if that makes sense? [Jim Moore:] (laughs) Okay. [TH:] So anyway, how did you get involved in the modern pentathlon? [JM:] Well, it’s a sport not too many people know about and I had followed the Olympics as a child and I didn’t know anything about it. I went to University of Pittsburgh on a track scholarship. I had to take ROTC because in 1953 the draft was on and I could be drafted. So I took ROTC because of my scholarship. They didn’t want to train me for a couple of years and then I would be drafted out. So I received a commission upon graduation. Went to Germany as an Army Cav officer in 1957 and the Cold War was pretty hot then. I was on border duty and qualifying tankers at Grafenwoehr and I said, There’s got to be a better way than this.

    68 6th CISM WORLD GAMES MUNGYEONG KOREA 2015 | 69 1. THE HOST COUNTRY : REPUBLIC OF KOREA The Korean Peninsula is located in North-East Asia. It is bordered by the Amnok River (Yalu River) to the northwest, separating Korea from China, and the Duman River (Tumen River) to the northeast which separates Korea from both China and Russia. The country itself is flanked by the Yellow Sea to its west and the East Sea to the east. There are several notable islands that surround the peninsula including Jeju Island, Ulleungdo and Dokdo. The Korean peninsula is roughly 1,030km (612 miles) long and 175km (105 miles) wide at its narrowest point. Korea's total land area is 100,033 sq km, and it has a population of 51.18 million people. Because of its unique geographical location, Korea is placed in a valuable strategic position and is an international hub of Asia. Mountains cover 70% of Korea's landmass, making it one of the most mountainous regions in the world. The lifting and folding of Korea’s granite and limestone base create a breathtaking landscape of scenic hills and valleys. The mountain range that stretches along the length of the east coast falls steeply into the East Sea, while along the southern and western coasts, the mountains descend gradually to the coastal plains that produce the bulk of Korea’s agricultural crops, especially rice. 70 6th CISM WORLD GAMES MUNGYEONG KOREA 2015 | 71 Today, Korea is an industrial nation standing tall on the world stage.

  • Rivista Storia Dello Sport N. 2
    Vol 2 No 1 (2020) ISSN 2612-498X Olympic Games and CISM Villages: the outreach of the International Military Sports Council in the Olympic Games Athinodoros I. Moschopoulos (School of Physical Education and Sports Science- Democritus University of Thrace) ABSTRACT Modern Olympic Games are unquestionably the biggest sporting event of the entire sports commu- nity. Their ecumenical nature and philosophical connections to the ancient institution of the Truce, made them a global benchmark of friendship and peace. A sui generis international sporting associa- tion such as the International Military Sports Council (or CISM) had the objective of promoting friendship between world armies by means of sport. It has tried to make its presence felt in the Olym- pic Games, through the establishment of special accommodations for military personnel modeled on the «Olympic Villages». Recently declassified documents from the CISM Headquarters revealed that those initiatives took place more than once during Olympic Games. The purpose of this article is to identify the intentions and the efforts of the CISM to mark actively its presence in the Olympic Games, in the so-called “CISM Villages”. The conclusions of the research are as follows: a) CISM tried to approach all the armies of the world, despite political or other kinds of allegiances, using the «CISM Villages», b) the “CISM Villages” were aimed at hosting both military athletes and officials, although they appeared hosting only officials, c) the idea of establishing «CISM Villages» was receded throughout the years, due to a possible lack of interest, and d) the «CISM Villages» managed sporadically to attract coun- tries, regardless their political allegiances.
