Judo meaning "gentle way", is a modern Japanese martial art and combat
sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. Its
most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is
to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise
subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent
to submit by joint locking the elbow or by executing a choke. Strikes
and thrusts (by hands and feet)'as well as weapons defences'are a part
of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in
judo competition or free practice (randori).
Ultimately, the philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed for judo
became the model for almost all modern Japanese martial arts that
developed from "traditional" schools (koryū). In addition, the
worldwide spread of judo has led to the development of a number of
offshoots such as Sambo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Practitioners of judo
are called jÅ«dÅ?ka.
