    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 executing 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 (randori).
    Ultimately, the philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed for judo
    became the model for almost all modern Japanese martial arts that
    developed from "traditional" schools (koryū). In addition, the
    worldwide spread of judo has led to the development of a number of
    offshoots such as Sambo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Practitioners of judo
    are called jÅ«dÅ?ka.
