Judo

Judo, which means "gentle way" in Japanese, is a martial art created in Japan by Jigoro Kano in 1882 as a physical, mental, and moral pedagogy. It was derived from the ancient techniques of jujutsu. Jigoro Kano, a student of jujutsu, believed that martial art could change into a modern-day, acceptable sport. He refined the art and from that was born the art of Judo. Judo is the most widely-practised martial art in the World, and the second-most practised sport worldwide behind soccer. Since 1964 Judo is an Olympic sport. Judo uses mostly throws, immobilisations, chokes and joint locks.

The original school of Judo that was started by Kano, the Kodokan, is still active in Tokyo today.
