The Principles of Judo

Professor Jigoro Kano based Judo upon 2 principles.

Those principles of Judo / Junomichi are:

Seiryoku-Zenyo : ‘Whatever be the object, the best way of attaining it shall be the maximum or the highest efficient use of mental and physical energy directed to that aim.

Jita-Kyoei : ‘The harmony and progress of a body, consisting as it does of different individuals, however few or many the number of those individuals may be, can best be kept and attained by mutual aid and concession.’

In 1974, in order to remain close to the original judo of Jigoro Kano, Igor Corréa Luna (born in Uruguay) (1919-2000) founded JUNOMICHI.

While Judo evolved into a competitive sport based on opposition and physical strength, Junomichi retained the original principles of Jigoro Kano’s Judo.

Igor Correa Luna was an Eighth Dan, judoka, and outstanding teacher. He was director of the Technical Commission of the JUNOMICHI Federation for twenty-six years.
