Judo
Judo is a modern Japanese martial art and Olympic combat sport founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882, emphasizing throws, pins, joint locks, and chokeholds to control or subdue an opponent using leverage rather than strength. Its philosophy centers on the principles of 'maximum efficiency, minimum effort' and mutual benefit for both practitioners. It is practiced worldwide both as a competitive sport with weight classes and international tournaments, and as a discipline for building physical fitness, discipline, and self-defense skills.
