About Judo
Judo (the "gentle way") was developed by Professor Jigoro Kano in 1882. More than martial art, it is a form of physical, intellectual, and moral education based on the principles of maximum efficiency with minimum effort ("seiryoku zenyo") and mutual welfare and benefit ("jita kyoei"). Derived from jiujitsu, modern day judo techniques consist of throws ("nage waza") and grappling controls ("kateme waza").Today, judo is an Olympic sport and is practiced in over 195 countries around the world.
