About Judo
In 1882, the late Professor Kano founded the Kodokan Judo. He learned Jujitsu when he was just 18 years old and made a thorough study of the subject, including grappling tricks and all the joint tricks of the Tenjin Shin Yo school, the throwing tricks of the Nito school and many other methods of attack and defense then taught in the country. After many contrivances in studies, he retained those which were excellent in these schools and eliminated those which were dangerous for the physical culture, and substituted them with new ones invented by him. To define Judo is by nature beyond the scope of any short article, but it is an exercise, a sport, a system of self defense, a physical, moral and ethical code rigidly followed by it's advocates. It has for it's object, health, utility, spiritual, physical and mental training. Judo is not just a martial art, it is a way of life for Joe and his students. It embraces other than physical arts of throwing and submission. It has scientific principles of philosophy, psychology, anatomy and physics. The principles are not haphazard teachings, but written records requiring a lifetime of study. There is only one Judo - the Judo of Professor Jigoro Kano, the founder of the Kodokan Judo system. This is the Judo that Joe Turchiano teaches at his dojo in Ronkonkoma, NY (The only Long Island full-time Judo Dojo). Joe is dedicated to the art of Judo and it shows when he is teaching his students, which range in age anywhere from 5 years old to 85 years old.
