Judo (“gentle way”) is a martial art and Olympic sport, created in 1882 in Japan by Professor Jigoro Kano. It is derived from jujitsu, and consists of throwing techniques and ground techniques (including pins, chokes, and armlocks).
Today, judo is an Olympic sport being practiced in over 200 countries, with practitioners (known as judokas) from all walks of life proudly carrying on the tradition and stepping onto the mat to forge their mind, body, and spirit.
