The origin of judo?

Judo, as its name implies, is a "gentle way". Judo originated from a kind of Japanese martial arts, namely "Jiu Jitsu". But in fact, judo is a highly antagonistic competitive sport, which emphasizes the proficiency of players in mastering technology, rather than the comparison of strength.

Judo competition requires players to "lock their arms" and "strangle" their opponents' limbs and necks, and to throw their opponents to the ground or suppress them until they admit defeat or fall to the ground.

After modern development, judo was listed as an official event in 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games (the host can choose to add an Olympic event, and Japan chose judo). As the birthplace of judo, Japan did have an advantage in the early days. They claimed that an excellent judo master could beat any opponent, regardless of his height and weight. However, in the indiscriminate competition, Dutch player Ji Xinke defeated Japan's three-time national champion with a height of 1.98 meters, thus changing people's fantasy view of judo.
