This was not only a place for the teaching and practice of physical techniques, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but a school where<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they were taught and lived <\/span><b>ethical principles of judo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><b>respect<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>courage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>sincerity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>honor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>modesty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>gratitude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>self control <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And <\/span><b>friendship<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This close relationship arises from the need to guarantee safety and protection to athletes during training and competitions, where falls and impacts are commonplace. There <strong>peculiarities of the fighting tatami<\/strong>, with its structure capable of <strong>absorb shocks<\/strong>, makes it <strong>ideal for cushioning blows<\/strong>, minimizing the risk of accidents.<\/p><p>In the <strong>judo<\/strong>, as well as in<strong> other martial arts such as jiu-jitsu<\/strong>, <strong>aikido <\/strong>and the <strong>karate<\/strong>, the tatami takes on a central role, becoming a symbol of respect and dedication towards the art itself. Its use extends beyond the <strong>practical functionality<\/strong>; the tatami becomes<strong> an integral part of the ritual<\/strong>, where each athlete competes not only with his opponent but also with himself, in an environment that promotes respect for the rules and personal growth.<\/p><p>There <strong>choice of tatami for martial arts<\/strong> it is not random but is based on very specific criteria that take into account its composition and its ability to adequately respond to the needs of each discipline. <strong>Traditionally made with rice straw and covered with a woven fabric<\/strong>, the tatami offer a stable but at the same time flexible surface, a fundamental characteristic for the execution of techniques that require precision and control.<\/p><p>L<strong>the evolution of the tatami<\/strong> in the martial context it also saw the introduction of <strong>modern materials<\/strong>, which have improved its performance in terms of durability and maintenance, without however betraying its original spirit. These <a href=\"https:\/\/itatami.it\/en\/tatami-green-eco-friendly\/\"><strong>new tatamis<\/strong><\/a>, despite being more resistant and easier to clean, retain the necessary softness to ensure the safety of athletes.<\/p><p>The role of <strong>tatami in martial arts <\/strong>it therefore goes far beyond the simple function of flooring; it <strong>it is an element that embodies the values of respect<\/strong>, <strong>discipline <\/strong>And <strong>dedication <\/strong>that characterize these practices. His <strong>presence in the dojo <\/strong>And <strong>gyms <\/strong>it is not only functional but symbolic, representing a bridge between past and present, between tradition and innovation, in the spiritual and physical journey of martial arts practitioners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2eb3ac6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2eb3ac6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wdt_bg_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_laptop&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_tablet_extra&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_mobile_extra&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;wdt_bg_position&quot;:&quot;center center&quot;,&quot;wdt_animation_effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b5dcde5\" data-id=\"b5dcde5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a463687 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a463687\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wdt_animation_effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-1024x576.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9672\" alt=\"The Judo salute\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-2048x1152.webp 2048w, https:\/\/itatami.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Il-saluto-del-Judo_itatami-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd0492c link elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd0492c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;wdt_animation_effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>The Salute in Judo<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>salute in judo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, known as &quot;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rei\u201d,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it&#039;s much more than one <\/span><b>mere formality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a <\/span><b>ceremonial gesture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
