Not all sports fans know that the founder of judo, the Japanese Jigoro Kano, was a teacher and that the famous poet Gavriil Derzhavin was the first Minister of Justice in the history of Russia. Those concerned were not at all surprised that a cooperation agreement was signed in Moscow between the Russian Judo Federation and the All-Russian State University of Justice.
Kano saw in his creation an integral means for physical and spiritual improvement. In this sense, the main objective of his classes was the harmonious development of the individual, considering the “flexible path” the most effective method to train the body and mind. “The three goals that judo directly strives to achieve are physical education, fighting skills and spiritual growth,” believes the Japanese educator. “By practicing judo, the student will be able to develop physically, acquire skills in fighting methods and at the same time advance intellectually and spiritually.” In other words, judo allows a person to develop qualities that will help them face any situation in everyday life.
According to the first vice-rector of VSUYU, Dmitry Guryev, the university pays special attention to the popularization of martial arts: “A lawyer must be able to defend himself both in the legal field and have skills that allow him to protect his family and loved ones. . We have about 35 thousand students, and “When we opened sports complexes in our branches, we paid special attention to judo halls. Now we are seeing a significant increase in interest in martial arts. At the same time Our students have already earned more than once medals in world championships in different sports.”
The partnership agreement was signed by the head of the FDR Sergei Soloveichik and the rector of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “All-Russian State University of Justice” (RPA of the Ministry of Justice of Russia) Olga Alexandrova in the framework of the international scientific and practical conference “Derzhavin Readings”, dedicated to the 280th anniversary of the birth of the poet and statesman of the Russian Empire.
“Thanks to the agreement, now within the walls of the University of Justice, projects aimed at the development of mass and children’s judo, as well as the training of potential champions, will be implemented,” said Sergei Soloveichik. “This university has many branches in the regions has excellent halls in which new tatami and full-time coaches and teachers will appear in the near future. Our interaction will allow us to raise a generation of strong people both in body and spirit, working for the good of our Homeland and at the same time being part of a large and friendly judo family.”
The Russian Judo Federation prioritizes developing partnerships with educational institutions across the country. The creation of judo sections and clubs on the basis of universities and colleges can significantly increase the number of people involved in this sport, which will contribute not only to the preparation of a reliable and competitive reserve for the national team, but also to captivate to the broader population with the idea of leading an active and healthy lifestyle.
The interaction between FDR and the All-Russian State University of Justice began long before the signing of the agreement. Branches of the educational institution have been identified where experienced coaches recommended by the federation will work. For example, in Sochi, recruitment is already in full swing for children’s and preschool groups. With FDR’s support, new sections will soon open in six departments of the University. By the way, in Moscow more than a hundred people have already expressed their desire to master the “flexible path.”
“We have sections, coaches and athletes in almost all regions of Russia, and such a wide geography imposes additional responsibility on us,” Soloveichik emphasized. “Within the framework of the FDR Academy project, we plan to train specialists for specific branches of the Russian Federation -Russian State University of Justice and the programs that will be held in them. It is important for us that schoolchildren continue studying and have a sufficient number of platforms and competitions where they can express themselves. Some of them will later receive the honor of representing Russia on the international stage, while others will lay a solid foundation for their health and acquire skills that will help them advance their career and career. “.
