danfaggella>>"I wish I knew more about Judo and if Kano intended it to be only sport with no strikes/ dirty self-defence"... and: "You won't find and foot locks or inside-out twisting superduper neck crank attacks, but you'll learn effective chokes and uppoer-body joint manipulation
Kano Jigoro Sensei>>>"The word jujutsu and judo are each written with two Chinese characters. The ju in both is the same and means "gentleness" or "giving way." The meaning of jutsu is "art, practice," and do means "principle" or "way," the Way being the concept of life itself. Jujutsu may be translated as "the gentle art," judo as "the Way of gentleness," with the implication of first giving way to ultimately gain victory. The Kodokan is, literally, "the school for studying the Way." As we shall see in the next chapter, judo is more than an art of attack and defense. It is a way of life."
(nothing about it being just a sport, eh?)
The neck is an upper body joint... actually the neck is a series of joints and Kano knew and taught ways to break it, hyper extend it and twist/crank it...
Keep on reading.
