EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the serene and picturesque Quad at the University of Oxford during the 1950s. The tranquility of the scene is abruptly disrupted by the dynamic and intense practice of Judo, a traditional Japanese martial art, taking place in the heart of this historic academic institution. The photograph captures a moment of focus and determination as two Judo practitioners engage in a spirited match, their uniforms blending seamlessly with the lush green grass and the ancient architecture that surrounds them. The Quad, with its stately buildings and reflective pool, provides a striking contrast to the raw power and fluid movements of the martial artists. Judo, which means "gentle way," was introduced to the UK in the late 19th century and quickly gained popularity among students and military personnel. The practice of Judo at Oxford University dates back to the early 20th century, making it one of the oldest Judo clubs in the country. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Judo at Oxford and the enduring appeal of this ancient martial art. The 1950s were a time of great change and innovation, and the practice of Judo at Oxford reflects the spirit of the era. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also highlights the timeless appeal of Judo as a sport that combines physical prowess, mental focus, and a deep respect for tradition.
