Japanese pronunciation: [dʑɯꜜːdoː] , lit. "gentle way") is generally categorized as a modern martial art , which has since evolved into a combat and olympic sport. The sport was created in 1882 by jigoro kano (嘉納治五郎) as a physical, mental, and moral pedagogy in japan. With its origins coming from jujutsu , judo's most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or take down an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin , or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defences are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms ( kata , 形) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice ( randori , 乱取り). It was also referred to as kanō jiu-jitsu until the introduction to the olympic games. A judo practitioner is called a "judoka", and the judo uniform is called "judogi".

Jiu-jitsu (gentle art) was born in india, among buddhist monks, as a compassionate approach to self-defense. At that time (over 2,000 years ago), buddhism was flourishing in southeast asia, especially in the vast lands of india. Several monasteries were established throughout the country, usually in remote areas. The difficult access and isolation favored assaults and robberies against caravans of supplies to buddhist locations. The monks themselves were often victims not only of direct aggression, but also of incredible hardship once their goods were stolen. Lack of supplies, especially during the winter, would bring disastrous consequences to their temple inhabitants.
