Judo
 Judo comes from the fighting system of feudal Japan. Founded in 1882 by Dr. Jigoro Kano, Judo is a refinement of the ancient martial art of Jujutsu.
Sometimes referred to as “The Gentle Way,” - strength alone does not always conquer. Judo can be compared
to a small tree in a hurricane. When the brutal winds blow,
the lithe tree's branches sway and bend, and the tree survives.
A bigger, stronger tree, unable to adapt to the gusts, is
snapped or blown out of the ground. Similarly in judo, use
of skill and speed can win out over brute force, and a smaller
opponent can prevail through quickness, cunning and superior
technique. There are many styles of Judo: Olympic Judo: American Combat Judo: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Judo-do: Kawaishi-ryu jujutsu: Kosen Judo: Russian Judo: Sambo (especially Sport Sambo)
