Default About Judo

The history of the Japanese martial art Judo: Named from the Chinese "gentle way" this is an unarmed form of combat. Similar to Aikido which was formed from the soft style techniques Jujitsu. The point of Judo is to throw the opponent cleanly, master him by applying pressure to the arm or neck, or pin him. Most techniques teach how to use the opponents force to your advantage.
