Seminar Overview

Nanka Judo Yudanshakai’s  relationship with Kano-Shihan  goes back to 1933, when  during his then visit to Los Angeles he supported the formation of Nanka. So our interest in being able to present and enable conversation on Kano ideas and intentions is relevant to us and we believe the judo family at large. So it is our pleasure to be able to present This seminar by Lance Gatling – Jigoro Kano and Judo, the secret behind the man.

It is well known that Kanō frequently spoke about his jūdō philosophies for many decades, but he never ever disclosed their origins, nor their exact meaning which has escaped jūdōka  ever since.  His writings were not only influenced by ancient Eastern philosophy, but also from 19th century English philosophers.

While living in Japan, Lance Gatling has studied and researched Jigoro Kano for the past15 years, discovering much that has not been seen for nearly the past 100 years.  During this seminar Lance will be present materials originated by Kano on a wide range of topics that include;

• Kanô’s judo philosophy; Its origin and meaning
• Kanô ‘s view of education
• His thoughts on jûdô versus today’s sport judo
• The five historic judos
• His Twelve Principles of Judo

Many of these concepts have never been discussed before and through his unique understanding of Kano, Lance will reveal a side of Kano we were not aware of
