  • Paralympic Judo: Is There Evidence for Match Rigging Among Athletes with Disabilities?
    Annals of Applied Sport Science, vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 63-68, Autumn 2017 Original Article www.aassjournal.com www.AESAsport.com ISSN (Online): 2322 – 4479 Received: 08/03/2017 ISSN (Print): 2476–4981 Accepted: 12/10/2017 Paralympic Judo: Is there Evidence for Match Rigging among Athletes with Disabilities? 1 * 2 Wadim Strielkowski , Anatoly Shishkin 1Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom. 2Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, Russian Federation. ABSTRACT Objectives: This paper studies the existence or non-existence of match-fixing (or rigging) among judo wrestlers (judoka) with disabilities during the consecutive Paralympic Games from 1988 until 2016. Methods: In our analysis, we use the institutional framework that makes it easy understand and model the incentives of the wrestlers using the readily available data. Our data set consists of official judo matches that took place during the Paralympic Games from Seoul in 1988 to Rio in 2016. We analyze the distribution of wins across judokas, the medal count at the end of each medal tournaments. Results: Our results are quite similar across specifications. There is no significant evidence to prove that some Paralympic judokas tend to be victorious more often on average than it might be expected. Conclusions: We find no evidence can be found to document match rigging in Paralympic judo wrestling. Our analysis does not confirm the corruption story or rule out effort as the explanation. While the incentive structure of promotion leads to gains from trade between wrestlers on the margin for achieving a winning record and their opponents in some other sports with athletes winning a disproportionate share of the matches when they are on the margin, this does not seem to be the case of Paralympic judo.

    BLOC DE CONTINGUTS: JOCS I ESPORTS JOCS I ACTIVITATS DE LLUITA. CONTACTE I COOPERACIÓ JUDO 1.What is JUDO? Judo is a Japanese martial art. It was founded in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Jigoro wanted to pick up the essence of the old jujitsu schools, along with other fighting arts practiced in Japan and merge them into one. Judo laid the foundations for the modern Japanese martial arts. Judo is one of the four main styles of amateur competitive struggle practiced today worldwide. Practitioners of this art are called judokas. Jidoro Kano summarizes the philosophy of Judo saying: The main condition of Nague- waza is projecting our opponents using the minimum of our strength, this principle applies to all aspects of our lives. Once on the ground can freeze or abandon the match with a choke or a dislocation. Judo is practiced in the dojo (place where one learns the way), and barefoot on a surface called tatami. The uniform of practicing Judo is called judogui, which consists of a jacket, open and without buttons, trousers and belt. The judogui is white and is made of a material resistant to traction. The belt has two functions, adjust the jacket body and identify its color according to the degree of knowledge that the student possesses. The different levels are higher in smaller: white, yellow, orange, green, blue and brown in the category of Kiu or student. DAN category or teachers are represented by the black belt, the first being its progression until the 10th. The highest degree awarded 10th Dan has been identified with a red belt.

  • A Brief History of Judo by Alex Mashadi
    A Brief History of Judo by Alex Mashadi Judo is a relatively new Japanese martial art developed in Japan in 1882 by Dr Kano Jigoro. Its aim is to either throw the opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue the opponent, or force an opponent to submit by a strangle hold or arm lock. Kano Jigoro was born in 1860 into an affluent Japanese family. His grandfather was a self-made man, a sake brewer from central Japan. However, Kano's father was not the eldest son and therefore did not inherit the business. Instead, he became a Shinto priest and government official, with enough influence for his son to enter Tokyo Imperial University. Kano was a small, frail boy, who was often picked on by bullies. At the age of 17, he first started jujutsu but with little success. This was in part due to his difficulties finding a teacher who would take him on as a student. When he went to university to study literature at the age of 18, he continued his martial arts studies, eventually gaining a referral to Fukuda Hachinosuke (c.1828– c.1880), a teacher who stressed the importance of technique over formal exercise, which led to Kano’s belief in the importance of free practice (randori). A little more than a year after Kano joined Fukuda's school, Fukuda became ill and died. Kano then became a student in a number of other schools, where varying degrees of emphasis was put on the practice of pre-arranged forms (kata) or free practice.

  • W the HISTORY of JUDO W
    w THE HISTORY OF JUDO w Jigoro Kano 1860 -1938 Assistant Club Instructor Essay - History of Judo.doc David Scott Page 1 04/02/2014 Introduction Judo is essentially a martial art so, in order to fully appreciate a history of judo, we shall look at a brief background on martial arts first. The English term “martial arts” is derived from Latin for “arts of Mars” - Mars being the Roman God of war. While the term “martial arts” today is normally associated with the Asian fighting arts, for centuries martial systems have also existed in western culture. We can date martial arts such as archery and wrestling back to ancient Greece, and in Mesopatamia there is evidence (such as paintings and poems depicting systematic fighting) that martial arts training dates back to Babylonian times (3000BC). In the far east, development of the Oriental martial arts is somewhat obscure. It is generally accepted that the Oriental martial arts developed in ancient China, during the Xia Dynasty more than 4000 years ago. This was among monks who used weaponless fighting techniques to protect themselves. Rulers of the Orient attempted to keep unarmed combat techniques secret, but through commerce and migration, the martial arts spread from China throughout the east. Chronicles concerning martial arts dating back as far as 720 AD discuss Japanese wrestling and, since then, the martial arts have developed into a variety of systems that have lead to the modern martial arts that we see today. There are currently more than 1,000 different forms of martial arts scattered around the world.

  • Hello Everyone! My Name Is Stephen Cannell. I Work As a Coordinator For
    Judo Hello everyone! My name is Stephen Cannell. I work as a coordinator for international relations (CIR) in Toyohashi. Today I would like to talk about judo, a combat sport that will be at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Judo is a Japanese sport that dates back to 1882. It was created by Kano Jigoro, a jujutsu practitioner who wanted to improve on jujutsu. It quickly grew in popularity, and began to be taught in schools, the police, and the military. In the 1950s, it had grown to become popular around the world, and international tournaments began to take place. It officially became an Olympic sport at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and was added to the Paralympics in 1988. There are many martial arts, including Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Russian Sambo, etc. that were influenced by judo. There are two methods of attacking in competition judo: throws, known as nage-waza, and grapples, known as katame-waza. There are 100 different techniques that may be utilized in judo, however some techniques that are too dangerous are banned from international competition. The goal of nage-waza is to throw your opponent on their back to the floor. There are standing throws, and those in which you bring your opponent down with you. The goal of katame-waza is to put the opponent into a position from which they cannot attack back. The goal of both competitors in a judo match is to land an ippon, which is an immediate victory. In order to be awarded an ippon, the athlete must perform a nage-waza or katame- waza on their opponent while meeting a specific set of guidelines.
