Judo is a system of self-defense, which makes use of an opponent's strength to overcome them, meaning that a smaller opponent can defeat a larger opponent.

‘Ju’ means gentleness or giving way, and ‘do’ means way of life, thus making Judo mean literally ‘the gentle way’ or ‘the way of giving way.’ Judo was founded in 1882, in Japan, by Professor Jigoro Kano, who envisioned it as a way of becoming physically and mentally fit through disciplined training.

Judo is derived from jujitsu and involves throwing opponents to the floor and holding them in submission. Judo eliminates many of the dangerous aspects of jujitsu by using philosophical principles and methods of physical, intellectual, and moral education.

In 1964 at the Tokyo Olympic Games, men’s judo was included in the Games at the request of the host country Japan. In 1988 women’s judo was a demonstration event and in 1992 became a full medal event.
