KANO was attempting to get the OLYMPIC GAMES held in Tokyo in 1940 and this occupied his errorts which were successful. His untimely death in 1938 derailed his efforts to organize JUDO internationally, and Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 put a hall to any Japanese activity in international organizations. However, due to several reasons. It was not finalized until July, 1951, when the Congress of the EUROPEAN JUDO UNION established the IJF. In 1952, at the Congress of IJF in Switzerland, Mr. Risei KANO was appointed as President. IJF was composed of 13 member federations only from European countries.

ITSUTSU NO KATA (The five Forms)

The Itsutsu no Kata, or KATA of the 5 Principles, is the first of the superior KATAs. It represented for KANO Jigoro, who created it, the „heart” even of JUDO.

It constitutes the syntesis of all the fundamental forms of TAI-SABAKI. But beyond this appearance the Itsutsu no Kata is meant to illustrate the correspondence, the communion of these basic forms of JUDO with the great cosmic principles of harmony and universal stability in their continuity and their cyclic alternation.

 

  1. Principle of concentration of energy and of action (direct push).
  2. Cyclic principle of the circle or of the whirlwind (centripetal and centrifugal forces).
  3. Principle of alternation of the pendulum (flux and reflux).
