May 1882 is considered the starting point of judo. At this time, in the Tokyo Buddhist temple Eishoji 21-year-old Japanese Jigoro Kano founded a school called "Kodokan". Judo was formed on the basis of jujutsu (distorted "jiu-jitsu"), which in turn takes its origins from the ancient form of the national wrestling sumo.
