RESULTS
When it comes to results, it is understood that someone who has
achieved good results has at the same time realized the goal of their
training. What results do we, actually, have in mind? Let us recall what,
speaking of the purpose of practicing judo, said its founder Dr Jigoro
Kano:
“In this way we improve ourselves and become more valuable members
of the community. And that is, at the same time, the ultimate goal
of judo”. (Illustrated Kodokan Judo, Kodansha, Tokyo, 1955, pp. 7-
13). This means that those who have became more refined and valuable
members of the community, have achieved greater results and realized
the goal of their practice and training. Often is a means represented as
an objective and by that logic, competition results are understood as the
ultimate goal in sports.Training, competitions, medals, awards ... these
are all but means for achieving the primary objective - perfection.
Every modern society encourages sporting activities just because
of the improvement of individuals who, thus, become more useful to
themselves, others and community to which they belong. All those who
are successful in their careers state that they would not be so successful
if they had not practiced judo. Many of them say that judo gave definition
to their life ways and helped them succeed.
Akademician Zuvdija Hodžić, Prof. Mihailo Burić, dr Dušan
Martinović, Prof. Branko Radujković and many others have confirmed
that.
