DUSHANBE, February 27, 2012, Asia-Plus -- Tajik athletes have reportedly won ten medals at the CIS Jujutsu Championships in Moscow.
Murdoali Teshayev, the head of the sports department, Jahonnamo TV Channel, told Asia-Plus Monday afternoon that Tajik athletes won ten medals at the CIS Jujutsu Championships that took place in Moscow. In all more than 200 athletes participated at the CIS Jujutsu Championships, he noted.
“Twelve athletes represented Tajikistan at the jujutsu tournament in Moscow,” said Teshayev. “Five of them – Davron Yuldoshev (-44 kg), Yosin Rahmiddin (-50kg), Azim Eshonkhojyaev (-62 kg), Bakhtovar Zamirov (-75 kg), and Fayzi Tobatov (-85 kg) – won gold medals for Tajikistan. Besides, Tajik athletes won two silver and three bronze medals.”
Jujutsu, also known as jujitsu, ju-jitsu, or Japanese jiu-jitsu, is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon.
“Ju” can be translated to mean “gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding.” “Jutsu” can be translated to mean “art” or “technique” and represents manipulating the opponent''s force against himself rather than confronting it with one''s own force. Jujutsu developed among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon.
Today, jujutsu is practiced in both traditional and modern sport forms. Derived sport forms include the Olympic sport and martial art of judo, which was developed by Kano Jigoro in the late 19th century from several traditional styles of jujutsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which was, in turn, derived from earlier (pre–World War II) versions of Kodokan judo.
