Judo Breaks
A Japanese Martial Art-judo
Judo, meaning “gentle way”, is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one’s opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one’s opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or by applying 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) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. While throwing opponents to the floor wins most matches, it is the only Olympic sport where submission holds allow choking an opponent or breaking an arm.
The Judo Rank System
Judo created the system of ranks, now used in most other martial arts, that recognize a person’s degree of knowledge, ability, and leadership. There are separate ranks for juniors (under 17) and seniors. Judo ranks are identified by colored belts, and ten degrees of advanced grades for black belts. Regular advancement encourages students to achieve more.
Principles and Goals of Judo
The principles of Judo, such as “Maximum Efficiency” and “Mutual Welfare and Benefit”, can also be used in our dealings with others in life. The ultimate goal in Judo is to develop oneself to the maximum extent possible, always striving for perfection, so that you can contribute something of value to the world.
Judo as a Sport
In 1964, Judo became the first martial art to be sanctioned as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. Judo competitions are also held throughout the world. Points are awarded for throwing an opponent, holding an opponent on his back while on the mat for a designated amount of time, or forcing an opponent to submit via “tapping out” to an armlock or choke or rendering the opponent unconscious with a choke. A match is won with a “perfect throw” called an Ippon, two near perfect throws called Wazari, holding an opponent on his back on the mat for 25 seconds, a combination of one Wazari and holding an opponent down for 20 seconds, or submitting an opponent with a choke or armlock. Members of the Notre Dame Judo Club are registered as amateur athletes in the State of Indiana through the state judo governing body, Indiana Judo Inc. Members are offered frequent opportunities to compete. However, competition is not necessary for membership in the club.

Jujitsu Judo Difference
is there a diffrance between gracie jujitsu and judo ground fighting?
Hi I am wondering if any one out there can tell me about the difference between gracie/Brazilian Jujitsu, And Judo Ground fighting. There is a judo school near by and the turion is less than at the Gracie/Brazilian jujitsu? Before I go pay top dollar for it
I’m going to disagree with a lot of people here. There are many minor differences on both styles.
When I go to Judo class as a primarily BJJ student I find that many of the skilled BJJ move much more fluid. When I get a top Judo guy in my guard I am working for a straight arm bar and then I am going to work for a triangle choke if he moves in to defend it.
I am not knocking Judo. Judo is more emphasis on take downs and BJJ is more emphasis on ground game. If you take both you are going to have a better overall game as result. Judokans just will prefer to take the guy down and pin him down this will result in an Ippon in which the Judoka is really aiming for.
I grapple with a friend of mine in my Judo school and he’s a brown belt. He will throw me around very easily but once he gets me to the ground it is very difficult to actually pin me because will be shooting for guard recovery or something where I gain control on the ground.
BJJ came from Judo and they both have many similarities. The triangle choke is in Judo, the arm bar is there, check this out: search for these moves in Judo and tell me if they look familiar

Juji Gatame
They will have many similarities but like I said BJJ guys work a lot on the ground while Judo guys work a lot on their throws. The main difference is that initially in sport Judo you can’t take a guy down by a leg take down such as the fireman’s carry (Yoko Kata Guruma) or the double leg take down (Morote Gari) but you can do this in BJJ tournaments.
In Judo it is illegal to pull of leg locks and while I am sure there are more serious Judokans who will learn them they may not use them as much since it is illegal in a Judo tournament but I’m sure they have it handy to escape it in case some idiot walks into a Judo school and thinks he’s an MMA god and tries to hunt for it. In BJJ you will find those leg locks so the chances of being caught in a leg lock or attempting to escape it is much more noticeable in BJJ.
