Judo

Judo was established in 1882 in Japan as a modern sport by Professor Jigoro Kano (1860- 1938).

The formula of techniques of various jujitsu schools, which have been Japanese combative arts and systematized for hundreds of years, were selected, refined, created and finally established as modern combative sports. Professor Kano devoted his life to the education and popularization of judo and laid the foundation of the present day judo. Judo has now developed into a modern Olympic sport.

The origin and development of judo as a combative sport demonstrates the superiority of techniques over strength. In judo various creations of techniques are possible and, at the same time, necessary by means of "Standing" and "Ground".
