Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the initiation and development processes of the judo athlete training system of the Cheongseok Academy. In addition, it aimed to reveal the influence of the Cheongseok Academy on the development of Korean judo through identification of national players and leaders from the Cheongseok Academy. This study drew conclusions through the literature review method using newspaper articles and related literature on Olympic and World Championship judo medalists from the Cheongseok Academy. The Cheongseok Academy was founded in 1924 by the brothers, Kim Won-geun and Kim Yeong-geun, and is now being established. It has a systematic bottom-up education system linked to Daesung Middle School, Cheongseok High School, and Cheongju University, and has had a significant impact on the development and globalization of Korean Judo. Specifically, the academy has fostered the following world’s best judo athletes: Jong-hak Park, Korea’s first judo world champion; Ki-Young Jeon, the `96 Atlanta Olympics gold medal and three consecutive world championships; In-cheol Cho, `97 and `01 world judo championship, `96 Atlanta Olympic bronze medal, and the `02 Sydney Olympics silver medal; Dae-nam Son, the `12 London Olympics gold medal. The production of such excellent athletes was directly linked to the development of Korean judo, and its origin and starting point was the leader Hyeongwon Kang. He fostered excellent athletes under the unique bottom-up judo education system of the Cheongseok Academy, and the educational system has been continued to develop with the passionate efforts of great leaders. Currently, the judo athletes produced by the Cheongseok Academy are performing a variety of academic and functional activities in the field of judo, physical education, and sports. In addition, it is having a positive influence in the fields of academics, including the training of young people. Examining the judo resources and education system of the Cheongseok Academy could be meaningful in terms of establishing the history of judo and physical education in Korea.
