As a refinement of the ancient martial art of Jujutsu, judo means gentle way and even softness in some contexts. Judo is a sport that requires not only strength and agility but also determination to overthrow the opposition. There is no kicking nor punching in judo, but tactical and careful movements.

A judo teacher is called “sensei”. The word comes from the japenese word “sen” (before) and “sei” (life) meaning one who has proceeded you.

With the world champion for the heavy weight category (100 kg +), French man Teddy Riner, at just 18 years old, Judo is an exciting and fascinating sport to watch.
