Juto Tatami Mat

Judo, literally meaning “gentle way”, was created in Japan, in 1882, by Japanese martial artist Jigoro Kano. Initially it was designed to compliment physical training for fitness but also for self defence. It gentle nature was a means for a smaller person to overcome a larger individual. Today though it is generally considered as a modern martial art which is also a popular Olympic sport. Judo is now popular throughout the world which is evidenced by the number of nations represented at international judo competitions.

The most Identifiable feature of judo is the competitive elements which come with it.  With judo the main objective is to either throw an opponent to the ground. From there one would seek to immobilise the opponent with a pin, or force an opponent into a submission like a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands are not allowed in judo competition but can be used in a self defence situation.
