---What is "JUDO"??---

Judo(柔道) waseinventedfin 1882 by a Japanese, Jigoro Kano. However it was formed from a synthesis of Ju-jitsu, in particular the Kito and Tenjinshinyo styles. It could be said that Jigoro Kano created yet another Ju-jitsu style but his genius lay in recognizing that many of the Ju-jitsu techniques could be practised fairly safely. So in his system he created a competitive form of Ju-jitsu where the dangerous moves were banned (such as eye-poking) but retaining these dangerous techniques in the Kata or pre-arranged sequences of which there are seven. He called his system Judo to distinguish it from Ju-jitsu. The focus in judo is on throwing techniques with groundwork also a major component. Throwing is divided in two groups of techniques, standing techniques and sacrifice techniques. Standing techniques are divided in hand techniques, hip techniques and foot/leg techniques. Sacrifice techniques are divided into those in which the thrower falls directly backwardsand those in which he falls onto his side. The groundwork techniques are divided into: attacks against the joints known in English-speaking countries as "leg-" and "armbars", stranglehold, and holding techniques.
