World Judo Championships Tokyo Presented by PARK24 GROUP 25 August-1 September 2019 #Judoworlds World Judo Championships Tokyo presented by PARK24 GROUP 25 August-1 September 2019 #JudoWorlds (Version 18 June 2019) World Judo Championships Tokyo 2019 presented by PARK24 GROUP 25 August-1 September 2019 Dear ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to welcome the judo family to Japan for World Judo Championships Tokyo 2019 presented by Park 24 Group. Judo’s flagship event returns to the sport’s homeland for the first time since 2010 and there’s an unprecedented amount of excitement and media coverage for our eight-day spectacular. This year’s Worlds is a key part of our preparations for Tokyo 2020 and the same can be said for all the athletes @MariusVizer and countries who are edging closer towards the end of the qualification period in May 2019. I would like to thank the All Japan Judo Federation and its President and IJF Executive Committee member YAMASHITA Yasuhiro for their diligence and commitment to staging the IJF’s most important competition along with a rich cultural program. We are all anticipating a fantastic competition in a legendary venue in the home of judo and I wish good luck to the organisers, judoka, coaches, media, volunteers and everyone present at #JudoWorlds Marius L. VIZER President International Judo Federation World Judo Championships Tokyo 2019 presented by PARK24 GROUP 25 August-1 September 2019 “Dear distinguished guests from the IJF and Judo family from around the World, on behalf of the All Japan Judo Federation, I welcome you all to Tokyo for the 2019 World Judo Championships. At the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Judo made its debut as an Olympic sport, the event being held at the newly constructed Nippon Budokan. Judo will return to this historic venue for this year’s edition of the World Championships as well as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The theme of this years World Championships is “The way is IPPON”. Countless pioneers have paved the way of Judo, it has been following one path, “Ippon”- from past to present, and will carry on to the future. Kano Jigoro Shihan, Judo’s founding father, not only promoted Judo as a sport, but devoted himself to instil the principles of “human education” through the practice of Judo. Judo builds ones MIND -Manners, Independence, Nobility and Dignity- fundamental human values which stretch far beyond the dojo. These values developed Judo to become a world culture - and a sport for all; practiced by men and women, children and adults and ones with disabilities. The All Japan Judo Federation will continuously strive to promote the core values of Judo to the world. The World Judo Family is represented by the Judoka participating in this event. I wish you all that you are able to fully demonstrate the results of your daily efforts. I expect you to not be arrogant after victory nor to be discouraged by defeat, but to keep in your heart the values of respect and humility. The heated competition and actions of fair play shown on the tatami will inspire fans and give them the courage to go after their dreams. I sincerely hope that these championships will also be an opportunity for athletes, officials and fans to nurture close friendships in Tokyo. Last but not the least, I would like to express my cordial gratitude towards all who have contributed to the success of this prestigious event.

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.

  • 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.
