Throw Down 柔道龍虎榜 |

Witnessing Hong Kong being hit by the SARS pandemic in 2003, Johnnie To, who was strongly influenced by the spirit of striving to achieve one’s dream advocated in the 1970s Japanese TV drama, directed the film Throw Down (2004) to encourage the locals.

There are three main characters in the film, and they are Sze-to Bo who escapes from practising judo due to retinal disease, Tony who is a competitive judo player and Mona whose dream is to become a singer. The story, in the beginning, explains why the three main characters encounter one another. Since Tony wants to compete with Bo while Mona wants to be employed as a singer in a pub to earn a living, they enter the pub and meet Bo. After encountering Tony and Mona who are both optimistic about life and experiencing the bereavement of his judo master, Bo once again becomes passionate about judo. The film ends with Bo, who has lost his sight, having a competition with Lee Kong on a grassland located in the city, symbolizing that Bo has found his aspiration and received salvation.

Throw Down is a film made to pay tribute to Akira Kurosawa’s Sanshiro Sugata (1943). There is a scene in Johnnie’s film that resonates with Kurosawa’s one, which is when Bo is having a competition with Lee Kong on a grassland. Both directors have integrated their philosophies of life into the films but the messages behind them are a little bit different. Throw Down emphasizes the pursuit of dreams while Sanshiro Sugata is about the pursuit of humanity.

Sanshiro Sugata 姿三四郎 |

Sanshiro Sugata (1943) is a martial arts film directed by Akira Kurosawa, which is adapted from Tomita Tsuneo’s novel. The film, as a medium manifesting the director’s attitude to Judo and life, is about how the aggressive Sanshiro has transformed into a humble and benevolent judo master.

In 1882, Sanshiro abandons his geta and is apprenticed to Shōgorō Yano after witnessing how Shōgorō defeats the opponents in a fight. After a few years of study, Sanshiro becomes arrogant and reckless and starts to fight with others without a reason. His master then rebukes Sanshiro for not understanding the principles of Judo and life and plans to expel him from school. To show his loyalty to the master, Sanshiro jumps into a cold pond but still has no idea what the principles of Judo and life are. After being in the pond for a day and a night, he sees the beauty in a lotus flower nearby and is suddenly enlightened. Through several competitions with other martial arts practitioners, Sanshiro has been humbler and more benevolent and become a judo master being looked up to.

The film is filled with elements of nature like the lotus flower and the grasslands, showing the charm of nature. Many of Kurosawa’s films share this feature. Some critics, from a thematic approach, analyze that the director wants to manifest how nature can remind us of who we are by adding those elements to the films. Yet, some point out that the aim is to heighten the dramatic tension, which can be indicated by some close-ups showing the changes in the weather.

Not only about the admiration and respect for nature, but the film is also about the principle of Judo and life, which is humanity. From the director’s point of view, besides being a physical and intellectual education for an individual, learning Judo helps one to cultivate his/her virtue and discover himself/herself.

Judo in Hong Kong 柔道在香港｜ 
Though the first HK public-open judo course was held in a fitness centre in 1940, it was not until the 1960s that this martial art entered the era of rapid development in this city. Various judo clubs had been founded in this decade, including the Far East Judo Club (est. 1964, by Koon F**k Cheung), SCAA Judo Department (est. 1964, by Stephen Tsai) and Hong Kong Judo Kan (est. 1966, by Takeo Iwami). In 1970, different judo clubs cofound the Judo Association of Hong Kong, China, which is responsible for hosting local and international tournaments.  
雖然香港首個公開招生嘅柔道班係喺1940年嘅莫理素健身院開設，但係去到1960年代，柔道先至真正喺本地蓬勃發展。好多柔道會都係喺1960年代創立嘅，包括遠東柔道會(1964年，管福祥創)、南華會柔道部(1964年，蔡德培創)同埋香港柔道館(1966年，岩見武夫創)。喺1970年，唔同嘅柔道會合作成立咗「中國香港柔道總會」，而哩個組織主要負責主持本地同埋國際柔道比賽。

Judo, Jujutsu, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? 柔道，柔術，巴西柔術? |
 
There are various traditional schools of jujutsu like Takenouchi-ryu (est. In 1532), Kitō-ryū (17th century) and Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū (the 1830s). Kanō Jigorō found judo by taking the techniques of the last two schools as a reference with removing some dangerous striking and choking techniques. Maeda Mitsuyo, a student of Kanō, visited Brazil in 1915 and taught Carlos Gracie, who later invented Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), judo skills.  
Let’s talk about the differences between judo, jujutsu and BJJ in their techniques. The judo techniques could be categorized as throws (including standing and sacrifice throws) and grappling holds (including holding, joint and choking techniques), which aim for throwing the opponent on his/her back or forcing him/her to surrender. For jujutsu, the practitioner could use more techniques, compared to judo, like punching, kicking, wrestling and grappling. Different from the previous two martial arts, BJJ focuses more on ground fighting. In a BJJ tournament, the participant needs to first take his/her opponent down, and then use grappling techniques to gain points and even make the opponent surrender.  
 
柔術有好多唔同嘅流派，例如竹內流(1532年創立)、起倒流(17世紀)同埋天神真楊流(1830年代)。現代柔道就係嘉納治五郎參考咗後兩者，並刪減咗當中一啲比較危險嘅當身技、絞技改創而成嘅。喺1915年，嘉納治五郎嘅弟子前田光世去咗巴西，將柔道傳授咗比 Carlos Gracie。 Carlos及後就創立咗巴西柔術。 
而家就講下柔道、柔術同埋巴柔喺技術上有乜分別啦。柔道嘅技可以大致分為投技(包括立技、捨身技)同埋固技(壓制技、關節技、絞技)，目的係令對方背部著地或者投降。相比起柔道，柔術家可以用到嘅技就比較多，例如拳擊、踢擊、摔投同埋寢技。而巴柔著重嘅就係喺地面上嘅搏擊。喺巴柔比賽裏面，參賽者首先要將對方摔倒落地，然後用各種寢技去得分，甚至逼對方投降。
