This study aims at finding out minutely how Judo men lived as an athlete in Korea's modern and contemporary regimes by looking through their individual lives.
This study shows what consciousness and contribution Judo men have formed living in the regimes, after looking at Korea's recent and contemporary athletic history though a life of a Judo family.
Interviews about their lives, participant observations, interviews using pictures, apparatus criticus, various personal histories were collected, analyzed and interpreted in terms of contextualized categories.
First, to live as a Judo man was not free from discrimination, oppression and inequality from Japanese rulers.
To these men, who were practicing Judo in a colonial education system of 1940 being dominated by militarism, unhappiness was an expected thing.
After Korea regained independence in 1945, the government destroyed these men's family.
He participated in subjugation of red guerrillas in Jili mountain and made a considerable achievement. He got a Hwa lang Order of Military Merit for it later, but he couldn't have restored the spiritual wounds from Korean war.
He must have played a great role from 1939 to 1960s as a Judo athlete in Gangwon province and of police.
He also became a sufferer between the boundary of police Judo and private Judo.
After all, he couldn't be a Judo man as he had dreamt.
Infelicity of Korean recent and contemporary history might disregard a person's life
On the other hand, a chronology of police Judo could be newly made using Cho je-guk's pictures and related materials - competition materials, personal life materials, documentary records and interviews - about police Judo and private Judo from 1947 to 1950, right after Korean war.
Second, in a macroscopic perspective, Cho je-guk's activities were made because those were in accordance with policies of the third republic of Korea.
Educational policies of the third republic based on ruling principles invoked from the May 16 military coup in 1961.
The father's life in recent and contemporary history have collided with himself in inconsistency of Korean regimes after the colonial period. His son also became a Judo man but sometimes the father restricted his son to do it. This shows that it was partly from interventions and participations of national system.
The progress of transfer from a father to his son formed a consistent rhythm chained with social structure and meaning of life history related by Cho je-guk's identity from his activities in the late 1970s.
This affected his son as absolute power. After becoming a normal father, Cho je-guk started a new Judo life as instructor of his son.
Third, the Judo which has started in his life by his father led him to middle school as the selected student of sports and continued till his highschool and started to refract during highschool.
The refract was caused by the microscopic perspective ideology which arouse from the consanguinity not by the macroscopic perspective ideology his father had gone through during Japan's colonial rule of Korea.
The basic reason of this comes from the necessary intervention of contradicted nations education system during the modernization process of Korea. Forth, activities which were related with Judo were identified positively in his life. But during his school days, memory of Judo was regarded negatively through the relationship between his father by the failure to higher level of education as the selected student of the sports. But in the reality reperception of the domain of Judo arouse as well as the retroaction of the new challenge of Judo.
The contemporary process and system of Judo men which has transisted from his father was the fact of his life. This is again expressed as the reversing procession in reality. Here, the 'new challenge' means the retroaction of the domain of Judo. From Min-joong's words, we can contract the old problems of the Korean Judo.
First, an particular school oriented and unified identity by sticking to regionalism.
Second, academical persons, players, and administration are isolated each other due to the lack of human infra
Third, a lack of intention and will to change the wrong concept the actual result of play is the development of Judo.
Fourth, the problem of administration that is oriented to the only conservative concepts which ignored the reality of Judo a lack of living physical exercises and the layer of elite players.
These general problems caused the backward step in study and this is the reason why the studies of Judo were not developed.
Min-joong's ego that was shown through his life is reflected on his father's mirror, who was a Judo man.
As the challenge to the Judo World, the procedure of re-identifying is the human's inner act, that is, he tried to be a Judo man through his consciousness flow.
If we just try to consider their statement as a old history thing, we are not able to get anything from this study.
Because the life of father and his son as a police officer life in Japan's colonial rule is very universal and the history can reappear.
It's not common relationship between Judo man father and son, which is complicated as well as basic like every human history.
However the age and its history can be influenced by how to form that relationship.
If son can succeed to father's meaningful role and activities, they will become sports history even if they are called with the different names.
In Min-Joong's life, to protect his father as a being of absolute virtue is not always true when an absolute power as an expression of passive counter memory compares with it.
Finally, Min-Joong as the father's son, has to find a way to be a genuine judo man in the history and the life of future.
