COMMERCE ANNUAL JUDO--JIU .IITSU Judo is the Japanese form ofself-defence or, more correctly, the art of self- defence. Jiu Jitsu has been handed down from generation to generation by the nobility of Japan who for a long time kept their knowledge of Judo to themselves.

The Judo player wears a hard cotton fiber jacket, similar to a kimono, coming just above the kneesg the sleeves are loose, reaching just below the elbows. The jacket ia held around the waist by a belt. A White belt signifies a beginner or noviceg a Green belt, a fair knowledgeg a Brown belt, well versed: a Black belt, an expert.
