Baragua Judo Kai under construction. Dr. Jigoro Kano is considered the founder of judo and he initially was trained in jujitsu and borrowed many concepts. However, he perceived a difference between jujitsu and judo. His differentiation lay in the emphasis of victor and the vanquished and what he was trying to do with the development of a pedagogical system. Dr. Kano’s judo evolved as a way to educate its practitioners in how to become better citizens. The principles of judo emphasized self perfection, mutual welfare and benefit, and maximum efficiency with minimum effort - all qualities needed for a civilization to sustain itself rather than take over and control nations.
