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. 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~Mka.
