JUDO: THE GENTLE WAY

Judo was created as a physical, mental, and moral practice in Japan in 1882, by Kanō Jigorō. Judo is a modern martial art which has evolved into a combat and Olympic sport. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw, pin, or submit an opponent. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet, as well as weapons defenses, are a part of judo but only in forms, or Kata, and are not allowed in judo competition.

Practitioners of Judo (Jūdōka) are ranked according to skill and knowledge of the art. Their rank is indicated by the color of belt that they wear. There are two broad categories of rank: those who have attained a level of competency at which they are considered worthy of a black belt and who hold dan grades and those who are yet to attain that level and who hold kyū grades. Those who hold dan grades are collectively termed Yūdansha (literally “person who has rank”) and those with kyū grades are Mudansha, literally “person with no rank”.
