Judo, meaning “gentle way,” is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport that originated in 1882. In 1964 judo also became an Olympic sport. It’s most prominent feature is its competitive element. The object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground or use a grappling maneuver to immobilize or pin one's opponent. One can also force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or applying a choke. Judo is about controlling the situation, not injuring your opponent.
