Introduction:The purpose of this study was to deepen our understanding of how the judo therapy education system was developed during the Meiji and Taisho periods and to provide fundamental knowledge to elucidate the history of the formation of the judo therapy education system.
Results:This study clarified the following three points.
First, during the Meiji period, the spread of this practical method and bone setting was part of this effort. The spread of sekkotsu-jutsu was intended as a continuation of traditional jujutsu.
Second, during the Meiji and Taisho periods, the traditional sekkotsu-jutsu (techniques) diverged from jujutsu and became judo therapy (1920),which was used by judo instructors.
And this decision was supported by the Dainihon Shidokai, a group of Tokyo-based judo dojo masters.
Third, during the Taisho period, they insisted on the effectiveness of bloodless therapy in traditional medicine in comparison with orthopedic surgery, and spread traditional therapies such as fixation methods used for fractures and dislocations, and medicinal methods for pastes by holding workshops for his members.
Discussion: After legalization, judo therapy became aware of its uniqueness and developed as a profession.. As in the face of competing medical fields, judo therapy became aware of its uniqueness and developed a professional awareness of the treatment of fractures and dislocations.
Therefore, it branched off from judo as it evolved into traditional medicine with a medical basis.
In other words, by laying a boundary with other medical treatments, this became coaptation, and as a result, diverged from jujutsu.
