Judo:

Judo was created in 1882 by Professor Jigoro Kano after studying various forms of Jujutsu.  Professor Kano synthesized the sport known as modern day Judo by combining principles of throwing and grappling.

Judo spread from Japan throughout the world, and became an Olympic sport in 1964 when the Summer Games were held in Tokyo. 

The study of Judo promotes physical fitness, sportsmanship, manners, self-discipline and self-control. 

The Judo student learns throwing, falling, holding, and ground wrestling techniques or grappling. Advanced Judo also involves the taking of joints and choking techniques.
