history

prehistory

At the beginning of the 20th century, judo first became known to the public in Portugal through a demonstration by two officers of the Imperial Japanese Navy anchored in Lisbon. In 1914, with Armando Gonçalves' A defesa na rua (English: Defense on the street), judo was first mentioned in a book in Portugal. António Correia Pereira became the first Portuguese, registered with the Kōdōkan wearer of a black belt (1st Dan) , and he founded the Academia de Budo in Lisbon in 1946 , the first judo school in the country. He also published the first judo magazine, but only nine issues appeared. He also wrote the book A essência do Judo (English: The Essence of Judo) published in 1950 under his pseudonym Minuro , for which he received praise from Kanō Jigorō's son Risei Kano and from Kinosuka Tanaka .

In the 1950s, judo in Portugal received some impetus, especially through the arrival of experienced judokas from abroad. After Masami Shirooka had stayed in the Academia de Budo for some time from 1947 , two Dan bearers, the French Henry Bouchend'Home and Decruet, came to Portugal in 1955, who from then on taught here, such as Decruet in the military school of Mafra and Bouchend'Home in the French School in Lisbon ( Liceu Francês Charles Lepierre ) and the Lisboa Ginásio Clube . Around the same time, the Swiss dan carrier Antony Stryker opened a judo school in Lisbon, near what is now the Intendente subway station . The Ginásio Clube Português in Lisbon and those interested in judo in Almada were other active participants who entered the first major competition in Portugal in the Strykers judo school in October 1956, the Lisboa - Sintra , which ended 4: 2 for Lisbon against Sintra .

In particular, students Bouchend'Homes and Strykers came together afterwards to found a judo association. On July 12, 1957, they founded the Judo Clube de Portugal . He developed a number of activities, including the visit of the 6th Dans Kiyoshi Mizuno in 1958 and the first Lisbon-Porto competition in 1959. In August 1958 Ichiro Abe , Kiyoshi Kobayashi and the Belgian Lannoy-Clerraux visited Lisbon. Kobayashi then stayed for two years, following an agreement between the Portuguese and Japanese governments, and then settled in Portugal. Among other things , he taught his friend and later Spanish King Juan Carlos in his exile in Estoril , was active in numerous associations and clubs (including Sporting Lisbon ), and was several times national coach of various selections, including a. at the Olympic Games ( Montreal 1976 , Los Angeles 1984 and Seoul 1988 ).

In 1959 the activities in Portuguese judo intensified. In addition to Jōjima and Ogura, Kyoshi Mizuno (6th Dan) also visited Portugal that year. In 1959 , the first national championships were held in the open air in the stadium of the University of Lisbon with the 1º Campeonato Nacional Absoluto, with Arlindo de Carvalho winning.

Since the foundation

On October 28, 1959, the Federação Portuguesa de Judo (FPJ) was founded by the Judo Clube de Portugal , which transferred all association activities to the FPJ until 1962. The first members were the clubs Clube Shell , Judo Clube de Beja , Ginásio Clube Português and the Circulo de Judo do Porto (forerunner of the Clube de Judo do Porto ). In the same year the FPJ represented Portugal for the first time at the Congress of the European Judo Union, and in 1961 it became a full member.

João Pina , two-time European champion

In May 1961, Portugal took part in the European Judo Championships for the first time, and in December in the 1961 World Judo Championships in Paris , where the FPJ also represented the country for the first time at a congress of the International Judo Federation . In the same year the first judo world champion, Shōkichi Natsui , visited Lisbon accompanied by Saberro Matsushita .

The Portuguese Judo Championships in 1963 , Ito Sunichi's visit and the relocation of the association headquarters to the historic Lisbon inner city square Praça da Alegria near Avenida da Liberdade marked the year 1963 for the FPJ.

A series of national and international competitions and visits by Japanese Dan wearers followed in the 1960s and early 1970s. The Carnation Revolution on April 25, 1974 then brought about a profound democratization and reorientation within the FPJ. The association gave itself a new statute and democratic structure, it received a number of new institutions from the state, and it developed professional coaching courses. On November 7, 1977, the FPJ was recognized as a non-profit sports institution ( Instituição de Utilidade Pública Desportiva ) and has thus been tax-privileged since then .

Since then, judokas of the FPJ have achieved international success several times, such as the multiple European champion Telma Monteiro , who came second at the 2010 Judo World Championships and represented Portugal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens .

Nuno Delgado became the first Portuguese judoka to win an Olympic medal with his bronze medal in Sydney in 2000 , before Telma Monteiro won the second Portuguese judo Olympic medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 with her bronze medal.

numbers

Sportsman and referee

A total of 246 clubs were members of the FPJ in 2014. The FPJ had a membership of 12,529 registered judoka, of which 2,904 women and 9,625 men. Among them were 1,067 black belt wearers , 678 of them the first dan.

The FPJ counted 354 active trainers in its 2014 training registers, including 41 third-degree trainers, 140 second-degree trainers and 171 first-degree trainers.

Finances

The FPJ closed the 2014 financial year with a loss of € −105,390.00, after a deficit of € −159,975.45 in the previous year. Total income of € 1,750,747.18 ( 2013: € 1,576,429.54 ) was offset by expenses totaling € 1,856,137.18 ( 2013: € 1,736,404.99 ).

The situation of the association corresponds to the generally difficult situation to a large extent of all Portuguese sports associations, which strive for increasing income and increased cost control with falling public subsidies, in an economically persistently difficult environment. The reason is the government's rigid austerity policy and the weak overall economic situation in Portugal as a result of the euro crisis .
