Judo competition in Serbia

Judo was created in 1882 and was founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano (1860-1938). At age 18, Jigoro Kano first started practicing jujutsu. As he himself was of poor physical constitution, he realized that he needed a lot of strength to apply certain techniques in jujutsu. Young Jigoro decided to modify certain jujutsu techniques in order to create a skill that would allow weaker individuals to defeat much stronger opponents. By studying the basic principles and techniques of jujutsu, Dr. Kano laid the foundation for today's modern judo sport. By the way, the term 'jujutsu' in Japan used to refer to a number of different martial arts.

Judo became extremely popular as early as 1886 when the Tokyo City Police organized a "Judo - Jiujica" tournament. A total of 15 matches were held and the judo team won convincingly. Since then, judo has become a part of Japanese school education and has begun to spread throughout the world. In translation, the word judo means a gentle path, and the sport itself is based on defeating the opponent with the least energy using his power.

From its inception until today, judo has been constantly evolving, especially in the competitive part. Today's rules in competitive judo are different from the rules created by the founding of judo. It used to take 15 minutes to fight, and it took three times as many points to win as it did today. This modification of the original form was created with the desire to increase its dynamism and attractiveness. It became an Olympic sport in 1964, and today Judo has millions of supporters worldwide.

Judo competition starts with fights.

Two competitors who are in the same category are fighting, or rather two competitors who are the same pounds and the same age.

Of course, judo is a martial arts and in competitions it sometimes happens that a competitor gets hurt.

After a grueling and exhausting battle, medals for the medal winners will follow.
