About Judo
Judo falls under the broad category of grappling (non-striking) art, along with wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, and Aikido. Its approach to grappling does not use force to overcome an oncoming force- rather, it teaches that it is more efficient to move with or around an opponent to gain superior position to apply a technique. Because the element of strength is not necessary (though it is useful), its utility applies to all body types, genders, and levels of athleticism. There is a large emphasis on randori or free sparring, which is meant to create familiarity with how techniques work against a resisting opponent.
Judo is best known for its spectacular throwing techniques but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing specialized pins, control holds, arm locks, and Judo choking techniques. Judo emphasizes safety and full physical activity for top conditioning. Judo is learned on special mats for comfort and safety.
Founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo is a refinement of the ancient martial art of Jujutsu. Judo was introduced into the Olympic Games in 1964 and is practiced by millions of people throughout the world today. Judo is many things to different people. It is a fun sport, an art, a discipline, a recreational or social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense or combat, and a way of life. It is all of these and more.
