Biographical / Historical
Judo was introduced in Britain circa 1920 by Yukio Tani and, although the precise date of foundation is not known, the Cambridge University Judo Club was one of the earliest. Indeed, a Ju-Jitsu Club had operated from 1906. The club's activities have included providing tuition for both novice and graded players; the entry of teams into local, regional and national competitions; national and international tours; and display demonstrations. There was also a programme of social events. Further information about the club's activities is on its website: http://www.judo.soc.ucam.org/.
