Judo
A Brief Overview:

Judo, meaning the gentle or giving way, is a relatively recent activity synthesized from many jujitsu methods by Jigoro Kano.

Judo is the principle of the maximum-efficient use of mind and body. The ultimate aim of the study of Judo is to train the body and to cultivate the mind through the practice of the methods of attack and defense. Professor Kano summarized his teaching in the slogans "Maximum-Efficiency with Minimum Effort" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit". Throws and grappling are the principal techniques.

Practioners are trained to fall safely in order to prevent injury. In contests, points are awarded to the thrower who performs with good technique and the partner who lands on their back. A win may be obtained by points or by grappling techniques which immobilize the opponent on their back for 30 seconds.

First introduced in 1964, over 100 countries participated at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
