Judo - Detailed Description of the 4 throws categories

Judo is a Japanese martial art that was developed by Jigoro Kano at the beginning of the 20th century.

The name “judo” means “the gentle way” and emphasizes the art of using the opponent's strength against himself.

Judo involves a variety of techniques, which are divided into throws, ground techniques and holds.

A central principle of judo is “winning by yielding”, in which the judoka redirects the opponent's energy.

Judo is not only a sport, but also a discipline that promotes respect, self-control and endurance.

In addition to the physical component, judo places great emphasis on the mental and moral development of the practitioner.
