On behalf of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation, I would like to welcome each of you at the World Judo Championship 2018 held in Baku - the capital of our country and wish you all success at the competitions. Azerbaijan is a unique country, blending the fascinating nature with a symbiosis of different ancient cultures.

The state support for physical culture and sports in Azerbaijan is growing steadily; great and big projects as the construction of new sports complexes, including the development of sports infrastructure are implemented. Thanks to directed state policy in this area, Azerbaijan has become one of the most popular sports countries in Europe and in the world, gained the confidence of international organizations and hosted the series of prestigious events at a high level. The First European Games in 2015, IV Islamic Solidarity Games in 2017, as well as European and World championships in several sports disciplines hold in our country and thanks to the high-level organization, these events have gained the deep sympathy of the global sport community. Today, for the first time, we are hosting the World Judo Championship. I express my deep gratitude to the International Judo Federation for trust. I am confident that, this grand event will further foster the promotion of judo in our country. Currently, judo is one of the popular sports disciplines in Azerbaijan and promoted across all regions of our country. Our goal is to increase the results our athletes in judo. Of course, also the fact that the world championship held the in Baku overlaps with a start of the Olympic qualifications and provides the high license points for the XXXII Summer Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020, in turn, increase the importance and interest to this prestigious event. I am confident that, World Judo Championship will become a sports feast for fans. Azerbaijani fans will have the chance to watch a live performance of the world’s strongest judokas on the tatami. I do not have any doubt that, all the participants of the Baku World Judo Championships regardless of the results they will achieve in this great sporting event, will leave Azerbaijan with positive impressions and unforgettable memories about our country and people.

Abstract: The basis for achieving success in sport is technical preparation supported by adequate level of physical fitness. During judo competitions, athletes use technique to meet tactical objectives aimed to achieve victory. The modification of the rules of combat in judo that has been carried out in recent years has changed the course of competition. It seems to be interesting if there are relations between technical and tactical preparation expressed by means of indices and modification of the course of the fight caused by changes in the rules. The purpose of the paper was to determine Citation: Błach, W.; Rydzik, Ł.; Błach, the values of technical and tactical preparation of judokas during competition at the elite level.

This World Championships, like no other before, is a glaring beacon in the calendar, bringing excitement and spectacle to judo fans everywhere, with the cream of the judo elite convening only weeks before the Olympic Games. @MariusVizer Budapest sits astride the Danube, used to international trade and negotiation, a hub for architects, artists and travellers, bringing a true international feel to any event staged there.

As we continue to pull together as a sporting community, leading the way in organising safe, clean and spectacular events, this World Championships will offer unrivalled proof that the world is not just reopening for sport but is also seeing the re-emergence of a more recognisable daily life and we are proud to have played a significant part in that.

  • Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim Stands Where He Has Stood for Over Fifty Years, in Front of a Group of Students Patiently Explaining the Subtleties of a Judo Technique
    Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim: Life & Legacy by Christopher Moore, 2014 (updated in 2021) “My Family grew rice on our farm in Korea. When the rice plants were young, they grew straight and tall. As they grew older and became heavy with rice, their heads bowed.” Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim, 10th Degree Black Belt I was born in Korea in 1935. I grew up in a small town near Daejeon. My first exposure to Judo came from my older brother. He showed me some techniques in the backyard. When I entered high school, I started to seriously train myself. Judo became my life. Through Judo I was able to go to college at the Yudo College which was later renamed Yong-In University. After I won the National Championships for the second time, I became well known throughout Korea. I had the honor of teaching many members of the US military including some officers. I was invited to tour the United States teaching Judo. After visiting the United States, I decided I wanted to stay here. It was through Judo I was able to do this. I settled in Pittsburgh, PA and opened my dojo. Today I have two dojos and also teach an accredited course at the University of Pittsburgh. I have had the honor of teaching thousands of people including several national champions and the current president of the USJA. I even coached the US Team. Judo is quite literally my life. It brought me to this country. It is how I make a living. It is how I raised my family.
