Tonight at 7:30 in the Stu

be offered to sports fans in
and about Lincoln. The Uni

staging its First Annual Ju

Mr. Sachio Ashida, who
founded the club five years
ago. is promoting the dem
onstration in order to in
stigate in the people of this
area an appreciation and
understanding of the often
misunderstood art of judo.
Although judo is an art
of combat and possibly an
instrument of death, its true
and aesthetic value is not
determined by these char
acteristics. The finer side of
judo is realized in the prin

training procedures, Ashido
said.
As a competitive sport
judo is designed to cultivate
the skill and powers that
are inherent in man. As Mr.
Ashida says, it is a "philo
sophic" approach to combat.
Judo does not utilize
strength: it uses the grace
ful coordination of the com
batant and the weaknesses
of his opponent to produce
its dynamic results.
"Gentle Art"
A Judo man trains to de
velop poise, confidence, re

well as coordination and
agility. The literal meaning

Soccer Club
Grounds RAF
The University Soccer Club
won their fourth league game
of the season Sunday, taking
a stormy 4-3 decision from
the Royal Air Force team
from Offutt Field in Omaha.
The RAF team left the field
with a 2-1 margin at halftime
but the Huskers staged a sec
ond half comeback that has
become their trademark this
year for the victory.
Nebraska combined a solid
defense with some fine offen
sive drives to finally ground
the fly boys. Christensen
drilled home a high hard shot
with approximately five min
utes left to play to give Ne
braska the win.
Martyn Bowden, the Husk
er's player-coach, said after
the contest, ' Honors go to
both teams for tough but
sporting play. Both goal-keepers
kept out some fierce at
tacks and looked very good."
Mr. Ashido started the
University Judo Club in 1953.
It is an amateur organiza
tion recognized by the AAU
and the Japanese Kodokan
Judo Institute. Members
are graded according to
their skill and achievement
and are identified by the
color of their belts.
There are sixteen grades
of judo proficiency, and a
competitor must pass cer
tain tests in order to grad
uate from one grade to the
next. For instance, in order
to pass from the beginning
grade called the sixth kyu
to the second grade level
(fifth kyu). the combatant
must be able to defeat three
opponents in succession in
hand-to-hand fighting. Re
quirements for passing sub
sequent tests are more dif
ficult. The Black Belt
Aft er a member has
passed the first six kyus,
he is eligible for the Biack
Belt. The Black Belt is the
symbol of the Judo instruc
tor. It is awarded by the
Kodokan Institute . to those
who have not only mastered
the principles of Judo, but
have also demonstrated high
moral and ethical standards.
Since an experienced judo
man is capable of killing a
man with a flick of his
thumb, only those persons
who have high moral and
humanistic characteristics
are allowed to enter the Or
der of the Black Belt. The
black belt holder has a re
sponsibility to teach, prac
tice and uphold the princi
ples and ideals of the art.
Tonight, Dr. Robert Sakai,
' acuity advisor of the club,
" ,lr. Ashido, and members
of his staff will explain judo
ind demonstrate some of its
many possibilities. There
will be demonstrations of
the various holds, positions
and maneuvers of judo. Both
offensive and defensive tac
tics will be shown, including
defenses against armed and
unarmed aggressors.
Mr. Ashido and his staff
have prepared what should
be an interesting and en
lightening performance.
