The Way of Judo is one of my favorites a smooth read but contains some factual errors that I had forgotten about. See /u/Geschichtenerzaehler's comment below. The books /u/Ryvai mentioned are good too.

But since you're here from BJJ for some Judo history, I want to take a minute to correct some straight up historical revisionism that I see a lot in BJJ.

  1. Mitsuyo Maeda was a Judoka, not a Jujitsu student. As far as I have been able to find he didn't study Jujitsu for a single day of his life, just Sumo and Judo.

  2. Yamashita Yoshiaki studied JJJ as a young man, but when he came to America he was a high ranking Judoka and taught Judo, not Jujitsu, to Americans, including President Roosevelt. Judo was very purposefully named, and Yamashita would never have called what he was teaching anything but Judo.

  3. The quote by Teddy Roosevelt saying "The art of Jiu Jitsu is worth more in every way than all of our athletics combined" is 100% locally grown organic bullshit.

  4. Kano to the best of my knowledge never once referred to Judo as "Kano Jiu Jitsu." Some other people did, including the wretched H Irving "This book says The complete Kano Jujitsu but I should say this book teaches nothing of my Judo" Hancock. Kano put a ton of thought into the name Judo, and while some newspapers in Brazil may have erroneously called it "Kano Jiu Jitsu," no one in Japan did, least of all Kano or any of his students.

    I used to think that BJJ just didn't care about getting the history right, but after two recent articles by Robert Drysdale I'm beginning to think it's an intentional revising of history to make BJJ seem like The One True Art and Judo its trivial footnote of a cousin. Seriously, click on both articles, control-f search for "Judo" and "Kano." Article One. Article Two. They're also good reads if you are interested in the direction of BJJ, but I was alarmed by how wrong he gets some of the historical facts.

    EDIT: spelling

Funnily enough, I'm reading this on my phone. It's a good read!
