Judo has also spawned a number of derivative martial arts around the world, such as [[Brazilian jiu-jitsu]], [[Krav Maga]], [[Sambo (martial art)|sambo]], and [[ARB (martial art)|ARB]]. Judo also influenced the formation of other combat styles such as [[close-quarters combat]] (CQC), [[mixed martial arts]] (MMA), [[shoot wrestling]] and [[submission wrestling]].
==History and philosophy==
===Early life of its founder===
[[File:Kano Jigoro.jpg|thumb|left|[[Jigoro Kano]], founder of judo]]
The early history of judo is inseparable from its founder, [[Japanese people|Japanese]] [[polymath]] and educator {{nihongo3|Jigoro Kano|嘉納 治五郎|[[Kanō Jigorō]]|1860–1938}}, born {{nihongo3|Jigorō Shinnosuke|新之助 治五郎|Shinnosuke Jigorō}}. Kano was born into a relatively affluent family. His father, Jirosaku, was the second son of the head priest of the [[Shinto]] [[Hiyoshi Shrine|Hiyoshi shrine]] in [[Shiga Prefecture]]. He married Sadako Kano, daughter of the owner of Kiku-Masamune sake brewing company and was adopted by the family, changing his name to Kano. He ultimately became an official in the [[Bakufu#Shogunate|Shogunate]] government.<ref>Kano (2008) pp. 46–47</ref>
Jigoro Kano had an academic upbringing and, from the age of seven, he studied English, {{nihongo3|[[Japanese calligraphy]]|書道|shodō}} and the {{nihongo|[[Four Books#Four Books|Four Confucian Texts]]|四書|Shisho}} under a number of tutors.<ref name="Kano 2008, p. 1; Hoare 2009, p. 43">Kano (2008) p. 1; Hoare (2009) p. 43</ref> When he was fourteen, Kano began boarding at an English-medium school, Ikuei-Gijuku in [[Shiba, Tokyo]]. The culture of [[bullying]] endemic at this school was the catalyst that caused Kano to seek out a {{nihongo3|[[Jujutsu]]|柔術|Jūjutsu}} {{nihongo3|[[dōjō]]|道場|dōjō|training place}} at which to train.<ref name="Kano 2008, p. 1; Hoare 2009, p. 43"/>
Early attempts to find a jujutsu teacher who was willing to take him on met with little success. Jujutsu had become unfashionable in an increasingly [[Westernization|westernized]] Japan. Many of those who had once taught the art had been forced out of teaching or become so disillusioned with it that they had simply given up. Nakai Umenari, an acquaintance of Kanō's father and a former soldier, agreed to show him ''kata'', but not to teach him. The caretaker of Jirosaku's second house, Katagiri Ryuji, also knew jujutsu, but would not teach it as he believed it was no longer of practical use. Another frequent visitor, Imai Genshiro of ''[[Kyushin-ryū]]'' school of jujutsu, also refused.<ref name="Kano (2008) p. 2">Kano (2008) p. 2</ref> Several years passed before he finally found a willing teacher.<ref name="Kano (2008) p. 2"/>
In 1877, as a student at the [[University of Tokyo]], Kano learned that many jujutsu teachers had been forced to pursue alternative careers, frequently opening {{nihongo3|''Seikotsu-in''|整骨院||traditional osteopathy practices}}.<ref>Hoare (2009) p. 44</ref> After inquiring at a number of these, Kano was referred to Fukuda Hachinosuke ({{circa|1828}}–1880),<ref>Fukuda (2004) p. 145</ref> a teacher of the ''[[Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū]]'' of jujutsu, who had a small nine mat [[dōjō]] where he taught five students.<ref>Kano (2008) pp. 3–4; Hoare (2009) pp. 45–47; Fukuda (2004) pp. 145–152. Keiko Fukuda 9th Dan (born 1913) is the granddaughter of Fukuda Hachinosuke, and is the last surviving direct student of Kano: {{cite news |last=Davis |first=Simon |title=Be Strong, Be Gentle, Be Beautiful - Keiko Fukuda |url=http://www.usjf.com/2011/01/be-strong-be-gentle-be-beautiful/ |publisher=United States Judo Federation |access-date=March 12, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110308231204/http://www.usjf.com/2011/01/be-strong-be-gentle-be-beautiful/ |archive-date=March 8, 2011 }}</ref> Fukuda is said to have emphasized technique over formal exercise, sowing the seeds of Kano's emphasis on {{nihongo3|[[randori]]|乱取り|randori|free practice}} in judo.
On Fukuda's death in 1880, Kano, who had become his keenest and most able student in both ''randori'' and ''kata'', was given the {{nihongo3|''densho''|伝書||scrolls}} of the Fukuda dōjō.<ref>Kano (2008) p. 6; Hoare (2009) p. 47</ref> Kano chose to continue his studies at another ''Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū'' school, that of Iso Masatomo ({{circa|1820}}–1881). Iso placed more emphasis on the practice of "kata", and entrusted ''randori'' instruction to assistants, increasingly to Kano.<ref>Kano (2008), pp. 9–10</ref> Iso died in June 1881 and Kano went on to study at the dōjō of Iikubo Tsunetoshi (1835–1889) of {{nihongo3|''[[Kito-ryū|Kitō-ryū]]''|起倒流}}.<ref name=":0">Kano (2008), p. 11</ref> Like Fukuda, Iikubo placed much emphasis on ''randori'', with ''Kitō-ryū'' having a greater focus on {{nihongo3|''nage-waza''|投げ技||throwing techniques}}.<ref>Kano (2005), p. 23</ref>
===Founding of the Kodokan===
[[File:Eishoji.JPG|thumb|''Eisho-ji'' temple, Tokyo]]
In February 1882, Kano founded a school and dōjō at the {{nihongo3|''Eisho-ji''|永昌寺}}, a [[buddhism|Buddhist]] temple in what was then the Shitaya ward of Tokyo (now the Higashi Ueno district of [[Taitō, Tokyo|Taitō]] ward).<ref>Hoare (2009) pp. 52–53. For ___location of Eisho-ji temple, see:<br />

The ''Eisho-ji'' dōjō was originally [[Shoin-zukuri|shoin]]. It was a relatively small affair, consisting of a 12 [[Tatami|jo]]<ref>Jo is the Japanese unit of area.</ref> (214 sq ft) training area. Kano took in resident and non-resident students, the first two being [[Tomita Tsunejirō]] and [[Shiro Saigo]].<ref>Kano (2008) p. 20</ref> In August, the following year, the pair were granted {{nihongo3|[[shodan (rank)|shodan]]|初段||first rank}} grades, the first that had been awarded in any martial art.<ref>Lowry (2006) p. 49</ref>
===Judo
{{Main|Kodokan–Totsuka rivalry}}
Central to Kano's vision for judo were the principles of {{nihongo3|''seiryoku zen'yō''|精力善用||maximal efficiency, minimal effort}} and {{nihongo3|''jita kyōei''|自他共栄||mutual welfare and benefit}}. He illustrated the application of ''seiryoku zen'yō'' with the concept of {{nihongo3|''jū yoku gō o seisu''|柔能く剛を制す - 柔能剛制||softness controls hardness}}:
[[File:Judo.svg|right|thumb|upright=0.45|{{nihongo3|"Judo"|柔道|jūdō}}, written in [[kanji]] ]]
{{blockquote|In short, resisting a more powerful opponent will result in your defeat, whilst adjusting to and evading your opponent's attack will cause him to lose his balance, his power will be reduced, and you will defeat him. This can apply whatever the relative values of power, thus making it possible for weaker opponents to beat significantly stronger ones. This is the theory of ''ju yoku go o seisu''.<ref>Kano (2005) pp. 39–40</ref>}}
Kano realised that ''seiryoku zen'yō'', initially conceived as a jujutsu concept, had a wider philosophical application. Coupled with the [[Confucianism|Confucianist]]-influenced ''jita kyōei'', the wider application shaped the development of judo from a {{nihongo3|martial art|武術|bujutsu}} to a {{nihongo3|martial way|武道|budō}}. Kano rejected techniques that did not conform to these principles and emphasized the importance of efficiency in the execution of techniques. He was convinced that practice of jujutsu while conforming to these ideals was a route to self-improvement and the betterment of society in general.<ref>For Kano's opinions on the wider applicability of ''jita kyōei'' to life see for example, Kano (2008) p. 107</ref> He was, however, acutely conscious of the Japanese public's negative perception of jujutsu:
{{blockquote|At the time a few bujitsu (martial arts) experts still existed but bujitsu was almost abandoned by the nation at large. Even if I wanted to teach jujitsu most people had now stopped thinking about it. So I thought it better to teach under a different name principally because my objectives were much wider than jujitsu.<ref>Hoare (2009) p. 56</ref>}}
Kano believed that "''jūjutsu''{{-"}} was insufficient to describe his art: although {{nihongo3|''jutsu''|術}} means "art" or "means", it implies a method consisting of a collection of physical techniques. Accordingly, he changed the second character to {{nihongo3|''dō''|道}}, meaning "way", "road" or "path", which implies a more philosophical context than ''jutsu'' and has a common origin with the Chinese concept of ''[[tao]]''. Thus Kano renamed it {{nihongo3|judo|柔道|Jūdō}}.<ref>"Judo" had been used before then, as in the case of a jujutsu school that called itself {{nihongo3|''Chokushin-ryū Jūdō''|直信流柔道||Sometimes rendered as Jikishin-ryū Jūdō}}, but its use was rare.</ref>
==Judo ''waza'' (techniques)==
{{See also|List of judo techniques|List of Kodokan judo techniques}}
There are three basic categories of {{nihongo3|''waza''|技||techniques}} in judo: {{nihongo3|''nage-waza''|投げ技||throwing techniques}}, {{nihongo3|''katame-waza''|固技||grappling techniques}} and {{nihongo3|''atemi-waza''|当て身技||striking techniques}}.<ref>Daigo (2005) p. 8</ref> Judo is mostly known for ''nage-waza'' and ''katame-waza''.<ref>Numerous texts exist that describe the ''waza'' of judo in detail. Daigo (2005); Inokuma and Sato (1987); Kano (1994); Mifune (2004); and Ohlenkamp (2006) are some of the better examples</ref>
Judo practitioners typically devote a portion of each practice session to {{nihongo3|[[uke (martial arts)|''ukemi'']]|受け身||break-falls}}, in order that ''nage-waza'' can be practiced without significant risk of injury. Several distinct types of ''ukemi'' exist, including {{nihongo3|''ushiro ukemi''|後ろ受身||rear breakfalls}}; {{nihongo3|''yoko ukemi''|横受け身||side breakfalls}}; {{nihongo3|''mae ukemi''|前受け身||front breakfalls}}; and {{nihongo3|''zenpo kaiten ukemi''|前方回転受身||rolling breakfalls}}<ref>Kano (1994) pp. 45–54</ref>
The person who performs a ''waza'' is known as {{nihongo3|[[tori (martial arts)|''tori'']]|取り||literally "taker"}} and the person to whom it is performed is known as {{nihongo3|[[uke (martial arts)|''uke'']]|受け||"receiver"}}.<ref>Ishikawa and Draeger (1999) p. 179</ref>
===''Nage-waza'' (throwing techniques)===
''Nage-waza'' include all techniques in which ''tori'' attempts to throw or trip ''uke'', usually with the aim of placing ''uke'' on their back. Each technique has three distinct stages:
*{{nihongo3|''[[Kuzushi]]''|崩し}}: the opponent becoming off balanced;<ref>Kano (1994) pp. 42–43; Mifune (2004) pp. 41–43</ref>
*{{nihongo3|''Tsukuri''|作り}}: turning in and fitting into the throw;<ref name=tsuk>Kano (1994) p. 44; Mifune (2004) p. 44</ref>
*{{nihongo3|''Kake''|掛け}}: execution and completion of the throw.<ref name=tsuk/>
''Nage-waza'' are typically drilled by the use of {{nihongo3|''uchi-komi''|内込}}, repeated turning-in, taking the throw up to the point of ''kake''.<ref>Takahashi (2005) pp. 39–43</ref>
Traditionally, ''nage-waza'' are further categorised into {{nihongo3|''tachi-waza''|立ち技||standing techniques}}, throws that are performed with ''tori'' maintaining an upright position, and {{nihongo3|''sutemi-waza''|捨身技||sacrifice techniques}}, throws in which ''tori'' sacrifices his upright position in order to throw ''uke''.<ref name="Daigo p. 10">Daigo (2005) p. 10</ref>
''Tachi-waza'' are further subdivided into {{nihongo3|''te-waza''|手技||hand techniques}},<ref name="All Judo Hand Techniques (Te-Waza)">{{cite web|title=All Judo Hand Techniques (Te-Waza)|url=https://judoinfo.com/hand-techniques-tewaza/}}</ref> in which ''tori'' predominantly uses their arms to throw ''uke''; {{nihongo3|''koshi-waza''|腰技||hip techniques}}<ref name="All Judo Hip Techniques (Koshi-Waza)">{{cite web|title=All Judo Hip Techniques (Koshi-Waza)|url=https://judoinfo.com/hip-techniques-koshiwaza/}}</ref> throws that predominantly use a lifting motion from the hips; and {{nihongo3|''ashi-waza''|足技||foot and leg techniques}},<ref name="All Judo Foot Techniques (Ashi-Waza)">{{cite web|title=All Judo Foot Techniques (Ashi-Waza)|url=https://judoinfo.com/foot-techniques-ashi-waza/}}</ref> throws in which ''tori'' predominantly utilises their legs.<ref name="Daigo p. 10"/>

===''Katame-waza'' (grappling techniques)===
''Katame-waza'' is further categorised into {{nihongo3|''[[osaekomi-waza]]''|抑込技||holding techniques}}, in which ''tori'' traps and pins ''uke'' on their back on the floor; {{nihongo3|''[[shime-waza]]''|絞技||strangulation techniques}}, in which ''tori'' attempts to force a submission by choking or strangling ''uke''; and {{nihongo3|''[[kansetsu-waza]]''|関節技||joint techniques}}, in which ''tori'' attempts to submit ''uke'' by painful manipulation of their joints.<ref>For full coverage of [[katame waza]] techniques extant in current judo competition rules, see Adams (1991), Kashiwazaki (1992) and Kashiwazaki (1997)</ref>
A related concept is that of {{nihongo3|''ne-waza''|寝技||prone techniques}}, in which ''waza'' are applied from a non-standing position.<ref>{{cite web|last=Koizumi|first=Gunji|title=Ne-waza (Groundwork) and Atemi-waza (blows) in Judo|url=http://www.ejmas.com/jcs/2004jcs/jcsart_Koizumi_0704.htm|work=Judo|publisher=Budokwai Judo Quarterly Bulletin|access-date=11 September 2012}}</ref>
In competitive judo, ''Kansetsu-waza'' is currently limited to elbow joint manipulation.<ref>Adams (1991)</ref> Manipulation and locking of other joints can be found in various kata, such as ''Katame-no-kata'' and ''Kodokan goshin jutsu''.<ref>Otaki & Draeger (1983) pp. 398–405; Kano (1982) pp. 192–203</ref>

===''Atemi-waza'' (striking techniques)===
''Atemi-waza'' are techniques in which ''tori'' disables ''uke'' with a strike to a vital point. ''Atemi-waza'' are not permitted outside of ''kata''.<ref>Daigo (2005) p. 9; Harrison (1952) pp. 162–168</ref>
==Pedagogy==
[[File:Judo-Tokyo-2016-10-1.webm|thumb|Children practicing judo in [[Tokyo]]]]
===''Randori'' (free practice)===
Judo pedagogy emphasizes {{nihongo3|randori|乱取り||literally "taking chaos", but meaning "free practice"}}. This term covers a variety of forms of practice, and the intensity at which it is carried out varies depending on intent and the level of expertise of the participants. At one extreme, is a compliant style of randori, known as {{nihongo3|''Yakusoku geiko''|約束稽古||prearranged practice}}, in which neither participant offers resistance to their partner's attempts to throw. A related concept is that of {{nihongo3|''Sute geiko''|捨稽古||throw-away practice}}, in which an experienced judoka allows himself to be thrown by his less-experienced partner.<ref>Ishikawa and Draeger (1999) p. 84</ref> At the opposite extreme from ''yakusoku geiko'' is the hard style of randori that seeks to emulate the style of judo seen in competition. While hard randori is the cornerstone of judo, over-emphasis of the competitive aspect is seen as undesirable by traditionalists if the intent of the randori is to "win" rather than to learn.<ref>Kano (1994) p. 142; Ishikawa and Draeger (1999) p. 84</ref>
===Kata (forms)===
{{See also|Kata}}
[[File:Hiki-otoshi.jpg|thumb|[[Jigoro Kano]] and [[Yamashita Yoshitsugu]] performing ''Koshiki-no-kata'']]
{{nihongo3|kata|形|Kata|forms}} are pre-arranged patterns of techniques and in judo, with the exception of elements of the ''[[Seiryoku Zen'yo Kokumin Taiiku no Kata|Seiryoku-Zen'yō Kokumin-Taiiku]]'', they are all practised with a partner. Their purposes include illustrating the basic principles of judo, demonstrating the correct execution of a technique, teaching the philosophical tenets upon which judo is based, allowing for the practice of techniques that are not allowed in randori, and to preserve ancient techniques that are historically important but are no longer used in contemporary judo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mrother/What_is_a_Kata.html|title=What is a Kata?|work=umich.edu|access-date=March 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150219195403/http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mrother/What_is_a_Kata.html|archive-date=February 19, 2015}}</ref>

{{nihongo|Contest|試合|shiai}} is a vitally important aspect of judo. In 1899, Kano was asked to chair a committee of the [[Dai Nippon Butoku Kai]] to draw up the first formal set of contest rules for jujutsu. These rules were intended to cover contests between different various traditional schools of jujutsu as well as practitioners of Kodokan judo. Contests were 15 minutes long and were judged on the basis of ''nage waza'' and ''katame waza'', excluding ''atemi waza''. Wins were by two ippons, awarded in every four-main different path of winning alternatives, by "Throwing", where the opponent's back strikes flat onto the mat with sufficient force, by "Pinning" them on their back for a "sufficient" amount of time, or by "Submission", which could be achieved via ''Shime-waza'' or ''Kansetsu-waza'', in which the opponent was forced to give himself or herself up or summon a referee's or corner-judge's stoppage. Finger, toe and ankle locks were prohibited.<ref name="judoruleshistory">Hoare (2005) pp. 4–7</ref> In 1900, these rules were adopted by the Kodokan with amendments made to prohibit all joint locks for ''kyu'' grades and added wrist locks to the prohibited ''kansetsu-waza'' for ''[[dan (rank)|dan]]'' grades. It was also stated that the ratio of ''tachi-waza'' to ''ne-waza'' should be between 70% and 80% for ''kyu'' grades and between 60% and 70% for ''dan'' grades.<ref name="judoruleshistory"/>
In 1916, additional rulings were brought in to further limit ''kansetsu waza'' with the prohibition of ''[[ashi garami]]'' and neck locks, as well as ''do jime''.<ref>Hoare (2009) p. 109</ref> These were further added to in 1925.
Jigoro Kano for a long time wished to see judo as an [[Olympic sports|Olympic discipline]].<ref>Niehaus, Andreas. [https://books.google.com/books?id=9R_cAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA102 'If You Want to Cry, Cry on the Green Mats of Kôdôkan'] in ''Olympism: The Global Vision'', 2013, p. 102.</ref> The first time judo was seen in the [[Olympic Games]] was in an informal demonstration hosted by Kano at the [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932 Games]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.judoinfo.com/kano.htm |author1=Jigoro Kano |title=The Contribution of Judo to Education by Jigoro Kano |website=Judo Info |access-date=February 21, 2016}}</ref> However, Kano was ambivalent about judo's potential inclusion as an Olympic sport:
{{blockquote|I have been asked by people of various sections as to the wisdom and possibility of judo being introduced with other games and sports at the Olympic Games. My view on the matter, at present, is rather passive. If it be the desire of other member countries, I have no objection. But I do not feel inclined to take any initiative. For one thing, judo in reality is not a mere sport or game. I regard it as a principle of life, art and science. In fact, it is a means for personal cultural attainment. Only one of the forms of judo training, so-called randori or free practice can be classed as a form of sport. Certainly, to some extent, the same may be said of boxing and fencing, but today they are practiced and conducted as sports. Then the Olympic Games are so strongly flavored with nationalism that it is possible to be influenced by it and to develop "Contest Judo", a retrograde form as ju-jitsu was before the Kodokan was founded. Judo should be free as art and science from any external influences, political, national, racial, and financial or any other organized interest. And all things connected with it should be directed to its ultimate object, the "Benefit of Humanity". Human sacrifice is a matter of ancient history.<ref>Koizumi (1947)</ref>}}

[[File:Judo pictogram.svg|thumb|Olympic Judo pictogram]]
At the 57th [[IOC Session|general session]] of the [[International Olympic Committee]], held in [[Rome]] on 22 August 1960, the IOC members formally decided to include Judo among the events to be contested at the Olympic Games. The proposal, which was placed before the session by the Japanese delegation, was welcomed by all participants. The few who opposed had nothing against Judo itself but against increasing the number of Olympic events as a whole. There were only two dissenting votes in the final poll. For the first time in history a traditional Japanese sport has been included in the Olympic competition.<ref>Judo is Now Olympic Event, ''New Japan'', vol. 13, pp. 118–119.</ref>
Finally, [[Judo at the 1964 Summer Olympics|judo was first contested as an Olympic sport]] for men in the [[1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Games]] in [[Tokyo]]. The Olympic Committee initially dropped judo for the 1968 Olympics, meeting protests.<ref>{{cite book|title=Black Belt Vol. 2, No. 2|publisher=Active Interest Media, Inc.|date=Mar 1964|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_QdkDAAAAMBAJ|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_QdkDAAAAMBAJ/page/n26 27]}}</ref> Dutchman [[Anton Geesink]] won the first Olympic gold medal in the open division of judo by defeating [[Akio Kaminaga]] of Japan. The women's event was introduced at the Olympics in [[Judo at the 1988 Summer Olympics|1988]] as a demonstration event, and an [[Judo at the 1992 Summer Olympics|official medal event in 1992]].

Judo was an optional sport included in the three editions of the [[Commonwealth Games]]: [[1990 Commonwealth Games]] in Auckland, [[2002 Commonwealth Games]] in Manchester and [[2014 Commonwealth Games]] in Glasgow. From 2022, judo will become a core sport in the 22nd edition of the Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham and also the 23rd edition of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
===Current international contest rules===

[[File:Judo throw.jpg|thumb|Throw during competition, leads to an ippon]]
====Competition scoring====
A throw that places the opponent on their back with impetus and control scores an {{nihongo3|ippon|一本}}, winning the contest.<ref name=score>Takahashi (2005) pp. 18–20</ref> A lesser throw, where the opponent is thrown onto his back, but with insufficient force to merit an ippon, scores a {{nihongo3|waza-ari|技あり}}.<ref name=score/> Two scores of waza-ari equal an ippon {{nihongo3| |技あり合わせて一本|waza-ari awasete ippon}}. This rule was cancelled in 2017, but it was resumed in 2018. Formerly, a throw that places the opponent onto his side scores a {{nihongo3|yuko|有効}}.<ref name=score/>
In 2017, the [[International Judo Federation]] announced changes in evaluation of points. There will only be ippon and waza-ari scores given during a match with yuko scores now included within waza-ari.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ijf.org/news/show/adapted-rules-of-the-next-olympic-cycle |title=Wide consensus for the adapted rules of the next Olympic Cycle |work=IJF.org |date=December 9, 2016 |access-date=June 2, 2017 }}</ref>
Ippon is scored in ''ne-waza'' for pinning an opponent on his back with a recognised ''osaekomi-waza'' for 20 seconds or by forcing a submission through ''shime-waza'' or ''kansetsu-waza''.<ref name=score/> A submission is signalled by tapping the mat or the opponent at least twice with the hand or foot, or by saying {{nihongo3|maitta|まいった||I surrender}}.<ref name=score/> A pin lasting for less than 20 seconds, but more than 10 seconds scores waza-ari (formerly waza-ari was awarded for holds of longer than 15 seconds and yuko for holds of longer than 10 seconds).<ref name=score/>
Formerly, there was an additional score that was lesser to yuko, that of {{nihongo3|koka|効果}}.<ref name=score/> This has since been removed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://judoinfo.com/pdf/Contest%20Rules-08.pdf|publisher=INT. Judo Federation : IJF Referee Commission |title=Refereeing Rules Alterations: Test Event on WC Junior Bangkok'08 |website=Judo Info|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303170117/http://judoinfo.com/pdf/Contest%20Rules-08.pdf|archive-date=March 3, 2016|access-date=February 21, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://judoinfo.com/rules2.htm |first1=Neil |last1=Ohlenkamp |title=Evolution of Judo Contest Rules |website=Judo Info |access-date=February 21, 2016}}</ref>
If the scores are identical at the end of the match, the contest is resolved by the ''Golden Score'' rule. ''Golden Score'' is a [[sudden death (sport)|sudden death]] situation where the clock is reset to match-time, and the first contestant to achieve any score wins. If there is no score during this period, then the winner is decided by {{nihongo3|hantei|判定}}, the majority opinion of the referee and the two corner judges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.judo-ch.jp/english/ijf_judge/entyou/|title=Extended match (e.g. Golden Score Contest)|website=Judo Channel|access-date=February 21, 2016}}</ref>
There have been changes to the scoring. In January 2013, the hantei was removed and the "Golden Score" no longer has a time limit. The match would continue until a judoka scored through a technique or if the opponent is penalised (hansoku-make).
====Penalties====
Two types of penalties may be awarded. A shido (指導{{snd}} literally "guidance") is awarded for minor rule infringements. A shido can also be awarded for a prolonged period of non-aggression. Recent rule changes allow for the first shidos to result in only warnings. If there is a tie, then and only then, will the number of shidos (if less than three) be used to determine the winner. After three shidos are given, the victory is given to the opponent, constituting an indirect hansoku-make (反則負け{{snd}} literally "foul-play defeat"), but does not result in expulsion from the tournament. Note: Prior to 2017, the 4th shido was hansoku-make. If hansoku-make is awarded for a major rule infringement, it results not just in loss of the match, but in the expulsion from the tournament of the penalized player.

==Alternative styles and derivative martial arts==
[[File:Judo Camp in Artjärvi, Finland.jpg|thumb|International judo camp in [[Artjärvi]], [[Orimattila]], [[Finland]]]]
Kano Jigoro's Kodokan judo is the most popular and well-known style of judo, but is not the only one. The terms judo and jujutsu were quite interchangeable in the early years, so some of these forms of judo are still known as jujutsu or jiu-jitsu either for that reason, or simply to differentiate them from mainstream judo. From Kano's original style of judo, several related forms have evolved—some now widely considered to be
===[[Kosen judo]]===
Commonly described as a separate style of Judo, Kosen judo is a competition rules set of Kodokan judo that was popularized in the early 20th century for use in Japanese Special High Schools Championships held at Kyoto Imperial University.<ref>Kashiwazaki (1997) pp. 14–15</ref> The word "Kosen" is an acronym of {{nihongo3|Koto Senmon Gakko|高等専門学校||literally "Higher Professional School"}}. Currently, competitions are organized between Japan's seven [[Imperial Universities|former Imperial Universities]] and referred to as ''Nanatei Judo'' ([[:ja:七帝柔道]], literally "Seven Emperors Judo"). Kosen judo's focus on newaza has drawn comparisons with [[Brazilian jiu-jitsu]].
===Freestyle Judo===
Freestyle Judo is a form of competitive judo practiced primarily in the United States that retains techniques that have been removed from mainstream IJF rules.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://image.aausports.org/dnn/judo/2016/2016JudoHandbook.pdf| title = Judo handbook (PDF)| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160205201639/http://image.aausports.org/dnn/judo/2016/2016JudoHandbook.pdf| archive-date = February 5, 2016| url-status = live}}</ref> Freestyle Judo is currently backed by the International Freestyle Judo Alliance (IFJA).

===Georgian Judo===
Georgian Judo is influenced by [[Chidaoba]] (Georgian cultural jacket wrestling). Chidaoba's major influence on the Georgian style of judo is in its unorthodox grips as well as its throws and takedowns. Georgian Judo is also known for its countering techniques through the use of power moves such as bear hugs and double underhooks into throws and takedowns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.judoinside.com/news/5918/The_development_of_Georgian_judo|title=The development of Georgian Judo}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.euronews.com/2023/03/24/judo-grand-slam-returns-to-the-land-of-champions-georgia|title=Judo Grand Slam Returns|date=24 March 2023 }}</ref> It is represented by various olympic winners and World Champions, such as [[Lasha Bekauri]], [[Lukhumi Chkhvimiani]], [[Shota Chochishvili]], [[Tato Grigalashvili]], [[Zaza Kedelashvili]], [[David Khakhaleishvili]], [[Luka Maisuradze]],[[Lasha Shavdatuashvili]] and others.
===Russian Judo===
This distinctive style of judo was influenced by the Soviet martial art of Sambo. It is represented by well-known coaches such as Alexander Retuinskih and Igor Yakimov, and mixed martial arts fighters such as Fedor Emelianenko, Oleg Taktarov, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Karo Parisyan. In turn, Russian judo has influenced mainstream judo, with techniques such as the flying armbar being accepted into Kodokan judo.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rbth.com/articles/2012/08/02/the_russian_judo_revolution_16749|title=The Russian Judo Revolution|date=2 August 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.realnoevremya.com/articles/5923-judo-its-history-in-the-world-russia-and-tatarstan|title=Judo:Its history in the world and Russia}}</ref>
===Mongolian Judo===
Unlike other Far East styles of Judo, Mongolian Judo focuses much more on power rather than technique. The influence of [[Bokh]] on Mongolian Judo can be seen in its grips and body positioning. Judo grips such as the over under, double underhooks and the heavy use of grips on the belt.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://chesslikefighting.com/what-is-mongolian-judo-style/|title=Mongolian Judo|date=19 June 2023|access-date=10 January 2024|archive-date=27 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240227123027/https://chesslikefighting.com/what-is-mongolian-judo-style/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ijf.org/news/show/the-secret-of-mongolian-success|title=The secret of Mongolian Judo}}</ref> It is represented by various world champions, such as [[Khaliuny Boldbaatar]], [[Tsendiin Damdin]], [[Boldyn Gankhaich]], [[Naidangiin Tüvshinbayar]], [[Mönkhbatyn Urantsetseg]], [[Ganbatyn Boldbaatar]].
===Korean Judo===
Korean Judo is also very technical but what really separates it from other styles is the speed at which its techniques are performed. Korean Judo it is not powerful in terms of using strength but instead, the practitioners use speed, movement and technique in order to create fast and powerful snaps. This styles produced various olympic champions, like [[Ahn Byeong-keun]], [[Cho Min-sun]], [[Choi Min-ho (judoka)|Choi Min-ho]], [[Ha Hyung-joo]], [[Jeon Ki-young]], [[Kim Jae-bum]], [[Kim Jae-yup]], [[Lee Kyung-keun]], [[Lee Won-hee]], [[Song Dae-nam]] and others.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://littleninjaparenting.com/what-is-korean-judo-yudo-unique-origins-revealed/|title=What is Korean Judo}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://injoma.com/xml/26918/26918.pdf|title=The Development of Korean Judo}}</ref>
===French Judo===
French Judo is based on tactical Kumi Kata and focuses on breaking the posture of the opponent as well as preventing opponents from attaining a proper grip. This style does not use a huge amount of power; it prefers to use technique, tactics and timing.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theworld.org/stories/2021-08-03/france-loves-judo-how-french-team-won-olympic-gold|title=France Loves Judo|date=3 August 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ijf.org/news/show/535|title=Judo For The World}}</ref> Many French judo practitioners have become World and Olympic champions, like [[Clarisse Agbegnenou]], [[Émilie Andéol]], [[Marc Alexandre]], [[Djamel Bouras]], [[Amandine Buchard]], [[Guillaume Chaine]], [[Axel Clerget]], [[Sarah-Léonie Cysique]], [[Lucie Décosse]], [[Romane Dicko]], [[David Douillet]], [[Catherine Fleury-Vachon]], [[Alexandre Iddir]] and many others.
===Cuban Judo===
Cuban Judo is characterized by an explosive and high athletic style that puts an emphasis on body conditioning and calculated planning mixed with raw power.
In terms of training the athletes use a particularly methodical and intellectual approach to the sport.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sites.google.com/site/davidcainas/cuban-judo-history|title=Cuban Judo History}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/the-origin-of-judo-in-cuba/|title=The Origin Of Judo In Cuba|date=25 January 2022 }}</ref>
===Azerbaijani Judo===
Judo in Azerbaijan has developed over the years and has become deep rooted and considered a top sport in the country.
It's very similar to Georgian Judo, as its mostly focused on the practitioner's strength during throws.
It's a hybrid of the original Kodokan Judo and the traditional Azerbaijan style of wrestling called Azeri, whose techniques consist of unorthodox grips and positioning during counter-attacks.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.idman.biz/en/news/judo/14108|title=Aizerbaijan|date=12 January 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://grapplezilla.com/judo-styles/|title=Judo styles}}</ref>

Judo has become a top sport in Israel only recently.
Israeli Judo is characterized by a particular emphasis on hip throws, which are executed with a mix of technique and aggression, with the practitioner having to adjust his sleeves before powerfully gripping and throwing the opponent away.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://maccabiusa.com/israeli-judo-legends-zeevi-paltchik-arrange-skills-clinic-for-maccabi-juniors/|title=Israeli Judo Legends}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/sports/2016-08-17/ty-article/.premium/why-are-israelis-so-good-at-judo/0000017f-f98d-d880-a7ff-ff8d3a910000|title=Israeli Judo|newspaper=Haaretz |date=17 August 2016 |last1=Ben-Tal |first1=Daniel }}</ref>
===[[Sambo (martial art)|Sambo]]===
Sambo is influenced by judo combined with [[wrestling]] techniques, and striking in case of [[Combat Sambo|combat sambo]]. [[Vasili Oshchepkov]] was one of the first European judo black belts under Kano. Oshchepkov went on to contribute his knowledge of judo as one of the three founders of Sambo, which also integrated various international and [[Soviet bloc]] wrestling styles and other combative techniques. Oshchepkov was executed during the political [[Great Purge|purges]] of 1937 and judo was banned for decades until its inclusion in the [[Judo at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Olympics]], where sambists won 4 bronze medals.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Egorov |first=Boris |date=May 29, 2019 |title=Why Vladimir Putin would have struggled to be a black belt in the Soviet Union |url=https://www.rbth.com/history/330421-vladimir-putin-judo |website=Russia Beyond}}</ref> In their ''History of Sambo'', Brett Jacques and Scott Anderson wrote that in Russia "judo and SOMBO were considered to be the same thing"—albeit with a different uniform and some differences in the rules.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://members.tripod.com/stratfordsombo/articles/history-2.html |title=The History of Sombo |website=Members.tripod.com |access-date=February 21, 2016}}</ref>

Judo also influenced other combat styles such as [[close-quarters combat]] (CQC), [[mixed martial arts]] (MMA), [[shoot wrestling]] and [[submission wrestling]].

Kano's vision for judo was one of a martial way that could be practiced realistically. [[Randori]] (free practice) was a central part of judo pedagogy and shiai (competition) a crucial test of a judoka's understanding of judo.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kano|first=Jigoro|title=The Contribution of Judo to Education|url=http://judoinfo.com/kano1.htm|website=Judo Info|access-date=10 September 2012}}</ref> Safety necessitated some basic innovations that shaped judo's development. Atemi waza (striking techniques) were entirely limited to kata (prearranged forms) early in judo's history. Kansetsu waza (joint manipulation techniques) were limited to techniques that focused on the elbow joint. Various throwing techniques that were judged to be too dangerous to practice safely at full force, such as all joint-locking throws from [[Jujutsu]], were also prohibited in shiai. To maximise safety in nage waza (throwing techniques), judoka trained in [[ukemi]] (break falls) and practiced on [[tatami]] (rice straw mats).{{citation needed|date=September 2012}}
===''Kansetsu'' and ''shime waza''===
The application of joint manipulation and strangulation/choking techniques is generally safe under controlled conditions typical of judo dōjō and in competition. It is usual for there to be age restrictions on the practice and application of these types of techniques, but the exact nature of these restrictions will vary from country to country and from organization to organization.
==
Safety in the practice of throwing techniques depends on the skill level of both tori and uke. Inexpertly applied throws have the potential to injure both tori and uke, for instance when tori compensates for poor technique by powering through the throw. Similarly, poor ukemi can result in injury, particularly from more powerful throws that uke lacks the skill to breakfall from. For these reasons, throws are normally taught in order of difficulty for both tori and uke. This is exemplified in the [[List of Kodokan judo techniques|''Gokyo'']] {{nihongo3||五教||literally "five teachings"}}, a traditional grouping of throws arranged in order of difficulty of ukemi. Those grouped in {{nihongo3|''Dai ikkyo''|第一教||literally "first teaching"}} are relatively simple to breakfall from whereas those grouped in {{nihongo3|''dai gokyo'' |第五教||literally "fifth teaching"}} are difficult to breakfall from.{{citation needed|date=September 2012}}

Mental training is an emerging modality of training in judo that aims to improve the performance of high-performance athletes in training and competition and also to promote health and well-being in the daily life of athletes and their entourage through the learning and application of psychological skills. The first publication of a judo-specific practical mental training approach based on sports training principles was in 2005 with the work of Boris Blumenstein, Ronnie Lidor and Gershon Tenenbaum.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Blumenstein |first1=Boris |last2=Lidor |first2=Ronnie |last3=Tenenbaum |first3=Gershon |title=Periodization and planning of psychological preparation in elite combat sport programs: The case of judo |journal=International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology |date=2005 |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=7–25|doi=10.1080/1612197X.2005.9671755 |s2cid=144190858 }}</ref> In 2022, Caio Gabriel published the first article on mental training that appeared in the scientific journal of the [[International Judo Federation]], "The Arts and Sciences of Judo".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gabriel |first1=Caio |title=Towards Mental Training for Elite Judo Athletes |journal=The Arts and Sciences of Judo |date=2022 |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=18–21}}</ref>
==Judoka (practitioner)==
[[File:Judo_newaza.jpg|thumb|Two judoka wearing judogi]]
A practitioner of judo is known as a '''{{nihongo3|judoka|柔道家}}'''. The modern meaning of "judoka" in English is a judo practitioner of any level of expertise,<ref name="Inokuma and Sato (1987) p. 253">Inokuma and Sato (1987) p. 253</ref> but traditionally those below the rank of 4th ''dan'' were called {{nihongo3|''kenkyu-sei''|研究生||trainees}}; and only those of 4th ''[[Dan (rank)|dan]]'' or higher were called ''judoka''. (The suffix {{nihongo3|''-ka''|家}}, when added to a noun, means a person with expertise or special knowledge on that subject).
A judo teacher is called {{nihongo3|''[[sensei]]''|先生}}.<ref name="Inokuma and Sato (1987) p. 253"/> Traditionally, that title was reserved for instructors of 4th ''dan'' and above.<ref>{{Cite book|title=World of Martial Arts|last=Hill|first=Robert|publisher=LuLu Publishing|year=2010|isbn=978-0-557-01663-1|___location=London, Kentucky|at=Chapter 8}}</ref>
==Judogi (uniform)==
{{Main|Judogi}}
[[File:Judo orange belt (Brusselsshrek).JPG|thumb|right|The judogi is made from a heavy weave to withstand the stress of throwing and grappling.]]
Judo practitioners traditionally wear white uniforms called {{nihongo3|[[keikogi]]|稽古着|keikogi|practice clothing}} or {{nihongo3|[[judogi]]|柔道着|jūdōgi|judo clothing}}<ref>Inokuma and Sato (1987), p. 253; Lowry (2006), pp. 35–61</ref> sometimes abbreviated in the west as "gi". It comprises a heavy cotton [[kimono]]-like jacket called an {{nihongo3|''uwagi''|上衣||jacket}}, similar to traditional {{nihongo3|''hanten''|半纏||workers' jackets}} fastened by an {{nihongo3|[[obi (sash)|obi]]|帯|obi|belt}}, coloured to indicate [[Judo ranks and grades|rank]], and cotton draw-string {{nihongo3|''zubon''|ズボン||trousers}}.<ref>Lowry (2006) p. 39</ref> Early examples of keikogi had short sleeves and trouser legs and the modern long-sleeved judogi was adopted in 1906.<ref>Hoare (2005), p. 8</ref>
The modern use of the blue judogi for high level competition was first suggested by [[Anton Geesink]] at the 1986 Maastricht IJF DC Meeting.<ref name="judogi">{{cite web |url=http://www.judoontario.ca/events/articles/bluejudogi.htm |title=Introduction of the Blue Judogi |publisher=International Judo Federation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070912214517/http://www.judoontario.ca/events/articles/bluejudogi.htm |archive-date=September 12, 2007 }}</ref> For competition, a blue judogi is worn by one of the two competitors for ease of distinction by judges, referees, and spectators. In Japan, both judoka use a white judogi and the traditional red obi (based on the colors of the Japanese flag) is affixed to the belt of one competitor. Outside Japan, a colored obi may also be used for convenience in minor competitions, the blue judogi only being mandatory at the regional or higher levels, depending on organization. Japanese practitioners and traditionalists tend to look down on the use of blue because judo is considered a pure sport, and replacing the pure white judogi with the impure blue is an offense.<ref name="judogi" />
For events organized under the auspices of the International judo Federation (IJF), judogi have to bear the IJF Official Logo Mark Label. This label demonstrates that the judogi has passed a number of quality control tests to ensure it conforms to construction regulations ensuring it is not too stiff, flexible, rigid or slippery to allow the opponent to grip or to perform techniques.<ref>{{cite news |title=Judogi Guidance |work=International Judo Federation |url=http://www.intjudo.eu/pictures/news/404_1_1.doc |date=January 2011 |access-date=March 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720163641/http://www.intjudo.eu/pictures/news/404_1_1.doc |archive-date=July 20, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

{{Main|Rank in Judo}}
[[File:Judo children.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|Two children training in [[judo techniques]] ]]
Judo is a hierarchical art, where seniority of judoka is designated by what is known as the {{nihongo3|[[kyū]]|級|kyū}} -{{nihongo3|[[dan (rank)|dan]]|段|dan}} ranking system. This system was developed by Jigoro Kano and was based on the ranking system in the board game [[Go (game)|Go]].<ref name="Go Ranks">{{cite web |title=Go Ranks |url=http://mechner.com/david/go/kyu.html |website=Mechner |access-date=18 September 2017 |archive-date=19 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171219101630/http://mechner.com/david/go/kyu.html }}</ref>
Beginning students progress through kyu grades towards dan grades.
A judoka's position within the kyu-dan ranking system is displayed by the color of their belt. Beginning students typically wear a white belt, progressing through descending numerical order kyu ranks until they are deemed to have achieved a level of competence sufficient to be a dan grade, at which point they wear the {{nihongo3|[[Black belt (martial arts)|kuro obi]]|黒帯||black belt}}. The kyu-dan ranking system has since been widely adopted by modern martial arts.<ref name=judorank>{{cite web |last=Ohlenkamp |first=Neil |title=The Judo Rank System |website=JudoInfo.com |date=March 25, 2007 |url=http://www.judoinfo.com/obi.htm |access-date=October 15, 2007 }}</ref>
The highest black belt ranks have no formal requirements and are decided by the president of the Kodokan. Kano Jigoro's grandson [[Kano Yukimitsu]] served as the fourth president from 1980 until 2009. As an educator by profession, Kanō believed that there should be no end to an individual's learning, and therefore no limit to the number of dan ranks. As of 2011, [[List of judoka#Highest grades|fifteen Japanese men]] have been promoted to {{nihongo3|''jūdan''|十段||10th ''dan''}} by the Kodokan;<ref name=judorank/> the IJF and Western and Asian national federations have promoted another eleven who are not recognized at that level of rank by the Kodokan. On 28 July 2011, the promotion board of USA Judo awarded [[Keiko Fukuda]] the rank of 10th ''dan'', who was the first woman to be promoted to judo's highest level, albeit not a Kodokan-recognized rank.
Although ''dan'' ranks tend to be consistent between national organizations there is more variation in the ''kyū'' grades, with some countries having more ''kyū'' grades. Although initially ''kyū'' grade belt colours were uniformly white, today a variety of colours are used. The first black belts to denote a [[dan rank]] in the 1880s, initially the wide obi was used; as practitioners trained in [[kimono]], only [[white belt|white]] and black obi were used. It was not until the early 1900s, after the introduction of the [[judogi]], that an expanded colored belt system of awarding rank was created.<ref name=judorank/> Written accounts from the archives of London's [[Budokwai]] judo club, founded in 1918, record the use of coloured judo belts at the 1926 9th annual Budokwai Display, and a list of ranked colored judokas appears in the Budokwai Committee Minutes of June 1927. Kawaishi visited London and the Budokwai in 1928, and was probably inspired to bring the coloured belt system to France.<ref name=coloredbelts>{{cite web |last=Callan |first=Mike |title=History of the Grading System |website=ResearchGate.com |date=May 2015 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299604160 |access-date=March 6, 2020 }}</ref>
