Judo is a sport and martial art founded by Dr Jigoro Kano in 1882, unifying the most effective techniques of the ju-jitsu styles. Judo’s underlying principle is the maximum efficient use of energy. Judo incorporates throwing, pins, strangles and joint-locks.
Unlike many martial arts, sparring accounts for much of our training. So a technique’s effectiveness against uncooperative partners is apparent. As an Olympic sport Judo constantly evolves with worldwide influences.
