                    JUDO

It is a martial art and combat sport of Japanese origin. The playes of this martial art are called judokas or Yudocas. Judo was created by Japanese master Jigorō Kanō in 1882. Master Kano compiled the technical essence (launches, dislocations, immobilizations, strangulations, disarmament and shocks and tactics of displacement, positioning, transitions, breathing methods, etc.) of two of the old classical schools of Japanese melee combat or Jiujitsu, adapting to a real-time workout. In other words, at the end of the nineteenth century these techniques were taught without entering into active combat, as many were considered too dangerous. Jigoro Kano selected those that could be applied in a real fight, for being intuitive and simple, as well as practicing in real combat with the partner without risk of injury. This gave the Judokas an unparalleled advantage over other Japanese styles.

The techniques in which he inspired were the Tenjin Shin'y Shima-ryū and the Kitō-ryū that were based on the methods of melee practiced by the medieval warriors in armor or samurai on the battlefield until the beginning of the nineteenth century in Japan , getting them together in one, the Judo, inside their school, the Kodokan.

Judo is one of the four main sports-fighting styles most practiced today around the world. From Judo Kodokan have been derived the current forms of European jiujitsu, American Jiujitsu, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Russian sambo, Nihon Tai Jutsu and Krav Maga. This is mainly due to the judokas formed in Japan and his disciples throughout the world have been responsible for the development of these other forms.
