Judo
Judo is a modern martial art, combat sport and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke.
History
Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, was born in Japan in 1860 and educated in the English language. He studied jujitsu from a young age, and after moving to Tokyo for school, began to develop his own system based on modern sports principles. In 1882, he founded the Kodokan Judo Institute in Tokyo where he began teaching and which still exists today.
Techniques
Judo techniques are divided into three major categories: nage-waza (throwing techniques), katame-waza (grappling techniques), and atemi-waza (striking techniques).
Competitions
Judo competitions, known as shiai, are a vital part of judo development and education. Competitors must use a variety of techniques to score points, with the match ending when one competitor either scores a decisive point or accumulates more points than the opponent.
Influence
Judo has been one of the primary martial arts displayed at the Olympic Games since its introduction in 1964. Judo's international profile was boosted by its inclusion in the World Martial Arts Games and the Paralympic Games.
