Judo is a Japanese martial art that focuses on throws and grappling techniques to subdue opponents, with an emphasis on physical fitness, mental discipline, and sportsmanship.
It was invented by Jigoro Kano in Japan in 1882 as a safe and effective form of physical education and self-defence based on the principles of maximum efficiency and mutual benefit.
In judo points are awarded for throws, holds, and submissions. The aim is to throw the opponent to the ground with force or hold them down for a certain amount of time.
