Originating in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano, Judo—meaning "the gentle way"—focuses on throws, pins, and submissions rather than strikes or kicks. Despite its name, Judo is a dynamic, fast-paced martial art that’s been featured in the Olympics since 1964. It's a full-body workout that builds strength, agility, and confidence, and is widely respected for its practical self-defense techniques—using an opponent’s strength and momentum to your advantage. Suitable for all levels, Judo is both a sport and a discipline that challenges the mind and body.
