Let’s talk about judo

Judo is one of the oldest, most spectacular and interesting martial arts in the world. Judo is quite popular in many countries around the world and provides many topics and details for discussion, competition, etc. The main principle for participants in a judo match is to work with your mind, not your strength. In other words, brute force is not valued here; what is important is the timing of the move or strike. These are the criteria by which we evaluate this sport and enjoy watching it. The art of throwing an opponent and using painful techniques is important, as athletes can earn a lot of points from the judges for this.

The sport of judo has long been part of the Olympic Games, in which almost all countries of the modern civilised world participate. If we look back at history, the modern manifestations of judo can be considered to have originated at the end of the 19th century. It is generally accepted that it was at that time that the first school for boys was opened, which served to discipline and educate young athletes or simply schoolchildren. You can see the result of this today. Hundreds of thousands of martial arts schools, participation in Olympic competitions, live broadcasts of fights, and popularity among young people who want to master interesting combat skills or simply play sports.
