Seiryoku zenyō Jita kyōei
wasn’t well understood when Kanō shihan was alive.
Most today understand it even less.
Join us for the truth.

@WrenCobb Kanō with Dr. Godai Ryusaku, a Tokyo University classmate.
As 19yo uni students, Kanō & Godai demonstrated jūdō to former US President US Grant during his 1879 visit to Japan at the home of Shibusawa Eiichi, Japan's richest man.

@MichaelARothman Kanō shihan (master) did much more beyond martial arts.
He helped define modern Japan's language, culture, kendō, the Olympics, the educational underpinnings of the Empire, China's modern education system, and put a spy in the US White House.

@jposhaughnessy Kanō shihan was indeed fascinating.
His jūdō philosophies
- Seiryoku zenyō • Jita kyōei
- Best use of energy • Mutual benefit
derived from 19th c English Utilitarians and German physical chemist Wilhelm Ostwald.
See: Intl Judo Federation mag, pg 52

@Monsieur_tjo I believe that is Handa sensei, the chief instructor of the Women's Dojo in the Kodokan, with Kanō shihan demonstrating a choke.

@Dave_Sensei Not sure I've ever found this saying, but here's something close:
順道制勝 - Jundō seishō
The Right Way
to
Victory

Meaning:
Win or lose, acting properly is always a victory in and of itself

@forsakenhenry #KanoJigoro, founder of #judo #柔道 and the editor of Judo magazine, printed monthly from early 20th c. to today,
put that photo exact of #AleisterCrowley on the covers of several issues.

Years after finding that, I still don't know why.

@shinobu_books Uki goshi was supposedly Kanō shihan's favorite throw.

New translation - from 1899
Bushidō arises,
bushidō happens,
for what does it arise,
for what does it happen?

Bushidō arises
inspired by world trends,
inspired by human spirit.

Bushidō arises
from the souls of the gods of heaven and earth,
from the highest spirit of man.

[The Kano Chronicles® 嘉納歴代 @ChroniclesKano]

Bushidō arises
to transform
literature,
religion,
agriculture,
industry,
and commerce.
##

The above is from a late 1890s magazine to which Kanō jigorō
contributed some of the earliest essays on bushidō.

Bushidō arises
from the enlightenment
of more than seventy Kenpō schools,
of more than twenty Jūjutsu schools.

Bushidō arises
as divine teachings of masters
from ancient times
to today,
transmitted to the heart.
