	P.U.M.A - HISTORY OF KODOKAN JUDO by Janet Joy Smith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Judo emphasizes the larger educational value of training in attack and defense so that it can be a path or way of life that all people can participate in and benefit from.
		Judo was to be a holistic art, used not only to improve physical health but also mental, emotional and spiritual health, to perfect the individual with the goal that he could be of value to society.
		Judo will doubtless continue to grow as a worldwide sport and art, teaching the Way of Life, encouraging mental, spiritual, and physical health for individuals and, with their consequent contributions to society, benefiting all of society.
