An old Japanese art
Ags show interest in judo
By NANCY PATRICK
Special to the Batt
Every Tuesday and Thursday
about 6 p. m. a small group of people
appear in baggy, heavy white outfits
on the second floor of G. Rollie
White Coliseum. They gather to
learn how to send people flying
through the air and onto the floor.
They call it judo.
Judo is a modem adaptation of
traditional Jujitsu, one of the old
martial arts of Japan. Jujitsu may be
defined as an art of weaponless at
tack and defense.
Jigoro Kano, a student of jujitsu,
redesigned the art as an exercise for
martial purposes. He began teach
ing what he called “Kodokan Judo”
as an art and sport in 1882.

Neal Schuleman, a second degree
black belt, has been teaching judo at
TAMU for two years. He has been
in judo for 15 years.
Schuleman described judo as hav
ing “a contact sport where you take
advantage of, or create, an oppor
tunity to off-balance your opponent.
You then use a throw, hold-down,
and/or choke to defeat the oppo
nent.”
“Judo and karate are both martial
arts which involve the discipline of
both mind and body. But, the
similarities end about there,” he
said.
Persons practicing judo hold onto
their opponents in a particular
manner. They use the grip to help
control and throw the opponent,
said Schuleman.
The first thing a beginner learns is
how to fall without being injured.
Schuleman then teaches the basic
throws and hold-downs.
“One of the most important con
cepts in judo is to learn how to off-
balance an opponent and therefore
use his weight against him,”
Schuleman said as he demonstrated
how to off-balance a person.
The club is a mixture of men and
women. It became apparent that
each of the members had similar,
yet different reasons for practicing
judo.
“Judo to me is a sport, art, chal
lenge and it’s a form of discipline,
both mental and physical, that you
can carry on not only on the mat, but
in every day life,” said Schuleman, a
junior biology major.
Lars Stanley, a senior environ
mental design major, has been prac
ticing judo for two years. He spoke
of it as being “a good way to get rid of
energy. You learn something about
other people and how the human
body operates. It’s just fun.”
“First of all, judo is a lot of fun,
that’s for sure,” said Paul Nettell, a
sophomore pre-medical major.
After practicing judo for over a year,
Nettell says that “it’s a good outlet
for emotions. Judo gets your mind
off of studying for a couple of hours. ”
Nettell continued and said, “It
develops pride and strength. I guess
I do it for a lot of reasons. The big
gest thing is that it is a lot of fun.”
Bonnie Campbell, a freshman in
liberal arts, started practicing with
the club in early October. “It makes
me more confident of myself and my
abilities. I like to come here after a
bad day and get rid of my frustra
tions,” she said.
Schuleman said that beginners
are welcome to join the club any
time during a semester.

play they were penalized for illegal
blocking. On the second the pass
was incomplete. And on third down
Danny Fisher intercepted Mike
Adams’ pass.
Puryear then drove to within 10
yards of Ag-Eco’s goal line. How
ever, Ag-Eco’s defense stiffened
and aided by penalties were able to
prevent Puryear from scoring.
Puryear’s overpowering defense
held Ag-Eco on three quick plays.
The punt was returned 20 yards.
Despite several penalties Puryear
quickly drove down to the goalljne.
However, Ag-Eco’s defense stif
fened again only to be thwarted
when Woodard passed over the
middle to Don McCallum on fourth
down. At half-time the score stood
12-0 as Puryear’s second extra point
attempt failed.
With less than four minutes left in
the game Ag-Eco scored, aided by
penalties and a long pass completion
from Adams to Carl Wilmann.
Bobby Byars caught the touchdown
pass on third down. The try for the
extra point failed.
The frustration of losing began to
show when the Ag-Eco players
started tackling. With the personal
foul penalties Puryear only had to
gain 10 yards for their final touch
down. Woodard passed to McCal
lum for the score.
