Judo is a Japanese philosophy and martial art that originated in the late 19th century. Unlike boxing, karate and other combat sports, judo focuses on throws, armlocks, hold downs and chokes on the ground.

The world judo means “the gentle way” in Japanese, and the ideal judo practitioner – judoka – is a person who treats people and life extremely gently. Judo originates from the centuries-old tradition of martial arts, which was formed and developed in various schools of jujitsu of medieval Japan.
