Both Bob and Bill have
been taking judo for ap

Judo, sometimes called jujit

fense, which employs the moves
of the other man to his disad
vantage.
“I thought that taking
judo would help me. I took
it so I could defend myself
in case I got into a fight,”
stated Bill.
Judo is taught not only for
self defense purposes but is also
well known as a college sport.
The University of Oregon and
Eastern Oregon college both
have judo teams.
“It’s a lot of fun. I’m going
out for it in college,” comment

The garment worn by ju
doists is called the judogi.
No one is allowed on the
mat without this special
garment on. The garment
consists of a coat, pants and
a belt. The belts are differ

“Most people think that the
black belt is the highest step in

Precision is the key word
when speaking about judo. Some
people learn fast but it takes a
long time to perfect the moves.
It takes the average person
about three to four years to re
ceive the brown belt. In order of
succession, the belts for the sen
ior division, 17 years and older
are white, brown and black.
College judo is something like
wrestling. Points are given for
various moves. One point wins a
match. If one mistake is made
you lose the match.
Judo can be dangerous if a
person doesn’t land correctly.
There is one kind of move that
can kill a person if it is done
correctly. The move is called the
kill-fall. Usually the only place
that teaches this move is the
army in Special Forces training.
