Stop being so simplistic in your reasoning skills. There is a concept called 'false validation', just because Dr. Kano managed to include his judo into the western Olympic games does not make judo a sport!The Olympics is a Sporting event. It is for top level athletes in different sports to compete. Judo is a sport. In the Olympics top level Judo athletes compete against each other. Kano wanted Judo in the Olympics... A sporting event...
What attributes does judo possess which make you inclined to believe it is a sport? Despite the fact that its founder never considered it a sport, and that the Japanese had their own sports independent of their martial arts?
