Japan is the land of tea and samurais, but also of art and geishas. Its capital, Tokyo, intrigues and fascinates with its striking contrasts. It is a city at the forefront of new technologies, yet the Japanese also have a deep love for nature, enjoying hot springs, tending bonsai trees, and cherishing cherry blossoms. Tokyo is a city deeply connected to its traditions, preserving its gardens and centuries-old temples, while simultaneously seeing numerous skyscrapers rise. Judo, a Japanese martial art invented in 1882, is practiced barefoot on tatami mats by participants wearing a kimono. This Olympic sport, often associated with discipline and respect for others, reflects Japanese society itself, which places great importance on values such as honor and refinement.

00:00Thank you for listening.
04:06The black belt includes several grades called Dan.
04:09The latter goes from the first to the fifth Dan.
04:13During the training, the teacher explains a technique or movement while demonstrating.
04:38Then the students will perform the randori.
04:41It is a form of flexible combat in which the two judokas are partners rather than adversaries since they must allow the other to work.
04:49It is therefore necessary to not block the other while opposing a moderate resistance to stimulate the conditions of a fight.
05:11RANDORI
05:21RANDORI
05:31RANDORI
05:39RANDORI is a word that means free practice.
05:42Practicing under the conditions of a real struggle includes acts of throwing on the ground, stifling, keeping the opponent at bay, bending or twisting the arms or legs.
05:52Both fighters can use any method, provided they do not injure each other and respect the rules of judo, whether they are on paper or simply ethical.
06:02The randori is always carried out under the watchful eye of the teacher, who remains available, always ready to help, correcting and advising the person who comes to solicit it.

06:56Teachers are used to saying that you have to do these throws correctly, even when you
07:24are tired, and that you must perform a quality judo with good techniques, always trying to progress.
07:54Every child develops their technique at their own speed.
08:20There is not really any typical age to begin.
08:27For certain techniques, in particular, the younger you are, the faster you learn.
08:32But in training, be it hard or fun, one cannot unnecessarily force it, especially when you're
08:40small.
08:42Children should be allowed to have fun, for example, with other sport classes in parallel
08:47with judo.
08:49And you can do it together, and you can do it together, and you can do it together.
09:05The Najakomi is a technique of repetitive throwing practice.
09:23It allows working the execution of full throws without being in a combat situation.
09:28At the same time, one learns how to position the body for a throw
09:32and is therefore a technique that teaches one how to get used to throwing and receiving throws.
09:52As in all other sports, I suppose, judo gives great importance to respect.
10:02It's true. We often talk about rigor, in and of itself, and then, as it is a martial art, respect for others is very important.
10:21I don't have a strong heart and professional heart.
10:24When you get tired and hard, the heart becomes a little bit.
10:31I don't have a strong heart.
10:33I don't have a strong heart and heart.
10:35We always make it a hard time for myself.
10:38As I'm a strong heart and my heart gets worse.
10:42I think it's important to voice a little bit.
10:46See you soon.
11:16The
11:44maintenance of the tatami is easy enough with a regular dusting and occasional cleaning
11:49with a damp cloth. It's usually a fun moment together done at the end of the training
11:54with the students.
12:06In Japan, afternoons are often dedicated to sport. In fact, all students practice at least
12:12one and baseball is by far the most popular sport in Japan. Although for some years now
12:19it hasn't provoked as much passion, it remains nevertheless a highly appreciated discipline.
12:24There are between 10 and 25 million runners in Japan, as running is a way of life in itself. In the past,
12:44it was rare to meet other runners in town. Running was only practiced in places like parks or gardens.
12:51The
13:16Senso-ji is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo, also known as the Asakusa Kanon Temple.
13:23Most of the Japanese come here dressed in a traditional outfit that can even be rented for the day.
13:31To visit this magnificent temple, you will have to pass by the Kemenaraman, which means Door of Thunder.
13:37There, you will find an enormous red and black paper lantern symbolizing thunder and lightning.
13:43Upon entering, you will pass by a long trading alley called the Nakamiseidori, which joins the majestic Kemenaraman gate to the main building of the temple.
13:54For many centuries, businesses have been fighting to sell their products at a high price.
14:00Visitors have a wide array of choice, between food stalls and popular souvenir shops.
14:05Nearly 90 stores follow each other over 250 meters, open all day without interruption until evening.

14:28In Buddhist temples, it is not unusual to find an omekuji, which means sacred lottery.
14:50After inserting a coin in a machine, a paper is printed with a prediction written on it.
14:54When the prediction is bad, the strip of paper is folded and is usually attached to a pine tree located near the sanctuary to ward off evil.
15:24On one of the temple squares is an incense burner whose smoke is known for healing and bringing good fortune.
15:37Approaching the temple, you will have the possibility to purify yourself with the ablution fountain before going to pray.
15:52An ablution is a ritual purification for certain parts of the body. Here, the mouth and hands are purified before certain religious acts.
16:01Water is a symbol of purification present in many religions.

16:34These are the objects of human beings in Yugoslavia
17:06It is pleasant to walk in the East Garden, also called Higashigyo-yen, or in the parks,
17:27Kita no Maru and Chidori Gafuchi parks, which line the Imperial Palace.
17:36On the edge of the paths are many trees.
17:52The long path of Kita no Maru Park winds through the vast garden.
17:56The promenade in the Chidori Gafuchi Park, famous for the beauty of its cherry blossoms
18:01in spring, rungs along the moats of the palace's origins.
18:11Visitors appreciate these gardens to rest or picnic on the large expanses of grass
18:16and contemplate beautiful specimens of cherry trees.
18:37Some of the gardens are home to the remains of the former Ido castle.
18:41Today, only the moat, two turrets, and two gates remain from the original castle.
18:46The Imperial Palace was completely destroyed during the Second World War.
18:50To reach this one, you have to go through the Nijubashi, a beautiful bridge with two arches,
19:12which leads to the main entrance open to the public on special occasions.
19:15The Nippon Budokan is a mythical place in Japan because it was originally
19:45built to host judo competitions at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
20:06The Nippon Budokan was first built for martial arts competitions and has a capacity to host
20:1115,000 people.
20:12Moreover, budo literally means martial art, while khan can be translated as establishment or house.
20:18The Nippon Budokan is called a
20:20喜iorst building.
20:20The Nippon Budokan is a powerful house that is known as the estualling
20:22where the sea of the sea of the sea is now the underrated into the sea.
20:23The Nippon Budokan is based on its mortality, but rather the спокой of the sea,
20:24which is established and is established as a new functional site
20:25as part of the sea.
20:26The Nippon Budokan is used as a new building buildings.
20:27Now in the summer, the nature of the sea is found in the sky,
20:28as a new building building or world-winning type of space.
20:29The Nippon Budokan is also used to be founded as a new building .
20:30As a new building building, the lake is also known as a new building.
20:31And it is considered as a building or house.
20:31This is called our town.
20:32In general, all competitions outside those of high school and college students at the
20:59Tokyo Budokan take place, like this regional tournament, at the Nippon Budokan.
21:05To differentiate the judokas, the latter put on an extra belt.
21:09It is red for the first one called, and white for the second.
21:15Today, mentalities have evolved and competitions have been open to other kinds of sports, such
21:20as wrestling, kickboxing, and K1.
21:24Even if one moves away from the sports of tradition, the Nippon Budokan remains a reference
21:28for martial art competitions.
21:31It was once again chosen to host judo events for the 2020 Olympic Games, some 56 years after
21:37its first hosting.
21:58Behind their table, the sports commissioners have the task of counting the points, to
22:06fill in the match sheets, and keeping the various timings.
22:10During a competition, the judokas find themselves in a square whose dimensions depend on their
22:15category.
22:26The judges watching the fight sit at the corner and give the referee additional information.
22:31The judge's role is important, because if they give a different opinion from the referee,
22:36the referee is obliged to follow their decisions.
22:38The judge's role is to follow the other, against the men's women.
23:05Before entering the tatami, the judicas can concentrate or relax in a separate room.
23:12Created by the architect Mamoru Yamada, the impressive building reaches 42 meters high for an estimated construction cost of 5 million euros.
23:42To be continued...
24:12The symbolic clock of the Japanese department store Wako dominates the main crossroads of
24:16the Ginza district. Located in the district of Chou, it is sometimes nicknamed the Japanese
24:22Champs-Élysées. This is due to the luxury stores, art galleries, restaurants, and upscale cafes that
24:29embellish the agglomeration. Many of the world's luxury brands, particularly French ones, are
24:35fighting to settle down and find a place. During a stroll in Ginza, you can shop in stores and
24:40showrooms of prestigious brands such as Dior, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, or even Chaumet.
24:56In order to attract passers-by, most brands boldly compete in the architecture and decoration of
25:13their facades.
25:20Inaugurated in 2012, the Tokyo Skytree Tower has overshadowed the Tokyo Tower, which was one of
25:26the must-see monuments for travelers. Today, it is the Tokyo Skytree which has become one of the main
25:32attractions of the city. This digital broadcast tower has two observatories, as well as a shopping
25:38mall at its base. It is one of the tallest towers in the world, with a climax at 634 meters.
25:45Weather permitting, you can see Mount Fuji.
25:57The architecture of Tokyo has been greatly shaped by its history. Finding itself twice in ruins,
26:03once during the Cantese earthquake of 1923, and again during bombings in the Second World War,
26:09the urban landscape of the city is composed of modern and contemporary architecture,
26:14while old buildings are scarce.
26:33The creator of Judo, Jigaro Kano, founded the first Kodokan in 1882 with a room containing only 12 tatamis.
26:48This Kodokan, which literally means School for Study of the Hue, was the third and last place where
26:54Jigaro Kano taught his martial art. Today, it is still honored in what has become an international judo
27:00center run by the Japanese Federation, the All Japan Judo Federation. It is a large sports complex with
27:07eight floors. The main dojo is on the seventh floor, while the last floor is used to observe
27:13the training and can accommodate 900 spectators. More modern and bigger than the previous one,
27:19it contains more dojos, some reserved for women, children, or private pupils. It is possible to train
27:26on-site, whatever your level, by registering and paying a daily fee. Many judikas of all levels,
27:34as well as enthusiasts, can attend the main dojo events and visit the Kodokan Museum for free.
27:56In the suburbs of Tokyo, the city of Yokohama hosts the largest Chinatown in the world. There are 500
28:04shops in which you can enjoy many different types of Chinese cuisine. Great festivals are organized
28:10throughout the year, of which one of the most spectacular is of course the Chinese New Year.
28:15It was Japan's opening to the world in the mid-19th century that brought many Chinese to Yokohama
28:21and made this Chinatown so impressive.
28:51thank you so much for enjoying the evening.
28:56The Boundaries
29:26of the neighborhood are lined by ten doors, erected according to the principles of
29:30feng shui, adorned with the guardian deities and colored according to the five elements.
29:40Behind the Mitsubishi Dojo, there is a great love story for Kendo, which began in 1912
29:46when Koyote Iwasaki, president of Mitsubishi Limited Corporation Partnership, built a
29:51Kendojo on his Tsurugardai estate and invited Hakudo Nakayama, Kendo's greatest master of
29:57his time, to become master of his dojo.
30:01It was at this time that they decided together to allow this art to develop despite the difficult
30:06years during the Second World War.
30:09Over time, the building has been rebuilt in several places, but it still assures its primary
30:14function of Kendojo.
30:15Kendo is the oldest and most respected of the modern disciplines of Japanese martial arts.
30:41Its origins go back to the time of the samurai, where the art of Kendo was part of the 18
30:46martial arts that had to be practiced by the cast of leaders called bushi or samurai.
30:56Kendo is the modern version of kenjutsu, or swordmanship, formally practiced in Japan by
31:01the samurai.
31:02It is a form of two-handed saber fencing where the use of suitable equipment, bamboo swords,
31:08and a protective armor, the strikes are carried out in a real way.
31:38The shinai is a saber made up of four slats of bamboo attached to each other.
31:45It is the wooden version of the katana, Japanese saber, and varies with the category of the
31:50practitioner, his age, and his level.
31:55The kiai is a cry obtained by a strong ventral expiration.
31:59It makes it possible to release the efforts at the time of the strike.
32:02In Kendo, beginners are taught to shout the name of the party targeted by the strike in
32:08order to develop it.
32:09As the student progresses, the kiai will be replaced by a more personal cry.
32:13Salutations are done at the beginning and at the end of the course.
32:37It is part of respect and courtesy taught in the kendo.
32:40It may vary according to professors and dojos.
32:42At the end of the lessons, the students go to the teachers to ask
33:11for advice in order to improve.
33:12Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
33:42Hey! Hey!
33:49Hey!
33:56Meiji Jingu is a vast Shinto shrine adjacent to the Yoyogi Park, built in 1920.
34:15It was built as a tribute to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken.
34:29As in most Shinto shrines, it is possible to make wishes or prayers thanks to the wooden shelves called ima.
34:35It is sufficient to inscribe one's wish or prayer on the tablet for a small fee,
34:40and then to hang it at the portico provided for this purpose near the temple for it to be read by the gods.
34:46It is a very, very beautiful view of the Hofstra.
34:52We are doing a great job.
34:54We are in theаешьs of a small house.

35:08In the middle of more than 100,000 trees, the sanctuary gives the impression of no longer
35:26being in Tokyo.
35:55The nightlife in Japan is a vast contrast.
35:57There are lively places, and others more traditional, more prone to peace and quiet.
36:25At nightfall, one can have exceptional experiences, like visiting certain temples and other places
36:45of interest, which are magnified by the various flowers and a subtle lighting.
36:52The nightlife in Japan is a very large part of the city of Japan.

38:33Just like university, sport is part of the high school curriculum.
38:54The discipline is the same.
38:56Everyone participates in the correct implementation of the course.
39:00The goal of Jigoro Kano was not to teach self-defense techniques
39:03but to create an educational discipline.
39:10It is said that Judo presents itself
39:30as a global discipline that strengthens the body and the mind.
39:34And that is what every teacher tries to instill in Japan.
39:50Training begins in general with stretching and muscle warm-ups.
39:53No part of the body is left behind.
40:19Even all the way to the neck muscle.
40:22One, two, three.
40:24One, two, three.

40:48With the help of one's arms, the belly crawl on the floor is one of the many exercises
41:16found in judo classes and established by Master Daigo, 10th Dan, in 1970.
41:23Since the publication of his book, none of the 15 exercises it contains have changed.
41:28We practice nearly all of them with some other movements.
41:46After warming up, the goal will first be to work on mastering techniques in a static way
42:14by repeating them.
42:16It is called uchikomi in Japanese.
42:19The first two phases of the capture, imbalance and placement, are carried out without executing
42:24the projection.
42:25It is a series of work that improves performance and speed.
42:32Then we do the technique in motion.
43:00Then we do the technique in motion, the Najikomi.
43:03This work requires much more coordination in the body and patience
43:07because it is possible to repeat thousands of times the same movement without mastering it.
43:20This school is Katsukabe Technical High School.
43:24This team training from Monday to Saturday
43:28for two hours per day.
43:31This team is Saitama Prefecture, East Park, number one team.
43:35I practice Judo for 45 years.
43:38Many boys start at 12 years old.
43:43High school is 15, 16, 17, 18.
43:49Three years in high school.
43:53Two boys is white belt and 12 boys are black belt.
43:59This team isurned by the end of July.
44:02Three years in final six weeks.
44:05The two teams were signed by theografia Station and the bridge.
44:08They're the ones here.
44:09They were the two groups for the 25 years.
44:11They're the ones here in the 1990s.
44:13We are the ones here in the country's city.
44:15They're the ones here in funding for two years.
44:19This is their mission to become our leader.
44:21They don't want to achieve any changes.
44:24I'm going to go.
44:54Randori is a freestyle practice. It is not played, or very little, in the physical domination of an adversary.
45:01The Randori is not a monotonous arm wrestle. It allows to forge its spirit of initiative and to progress as much in the attack as in the defense.
45:24The Randori is not a monotonous arm wrestle. It is not a monotonous arm wrestle. It is not a monotonous arm wrestle.
45:44To be continued...
46:14Whether standing or sitting, the two forms of salutations are used to mark the beginning
46:35and the end of a course, but also the respect and the gratitude towards the teacher and
46:40their partners.
46:40This greeting is codified by well-identified locations for each participant.
46:46The pupils stand facing the teacher and the most senior student is called Ray.
47:10The metro is a simple and very convenient way to visit Tokyo.
47:14Moreover, the rail network is woven
47:16like a huge spider web that is ready to serve all possible visits.
47:24The Tokyo metro network is recognized as one of the most efficient in the world.
47:38It is modern, safe, clean and punctual.
47:52Everything has been designed so that you can locate yourself without having to read a word
48:03in Japanese.
48:17The
49:09Tokyo is the city with the highest population density in the world, 13 million inhabitants
49:27in the city itself and reaching 40 million inhabitants in the surrounding area.
49:34It is also the most visited city of tourists traveling to Japan.
49:38Its architecture is unparalleled at the same time bequeathed and imposed.
49:43Indeed, when part of its history has survived, the other has had to rebuild itself, sometimes
49:49several times.
49:52This has allowed Tokyo to remain modern and to always stay in tune with its time.
49:59Judo is part of the story, and here in Japan where it was born, it will always be passed
50:04on to the new generations with the traditions that accompany it.
50:10Even in many Western countries, it is not exactly taught in the same way, or if not all have
50:15understood its message, Japan remains proud to see its martial art taught in great numbers
50:21with the respect it is due.
