Judo is a martial art and Olympic sport that originated in Japan. It involves throwing, grappling, and submission techniques to control an opponent and ultimately defeat them.
Judo rules are designed to ensure safety and fairness for all competitors. The basic rules include:
1. The aim of the contest is to throw or immobilize the opponent for a specified time, or force them to submit.
2. The contest area is a 14 x 14 meter square mat, with a red and white circle in the center.
3. Matches are typically 5 minutes for men and 4 minutes for women, with a possible extension of 3 minutes for men and 2 minutes for women in case of a tie.
4. Points are awarded for throws, holds, and submissions. The highest score is ippon, which ends the match immediately.
5. Illegal techniques include strikes, kicks, and joint locks that are not part of a throw or hold.
6. Fouls can result in penalties or disqualification, such as grabbing the opponent's clothing or attacking vulnerable areas like the eyes or groin.
Overall, judo emphasizes the use of technique and leverage rather than brute force, making it accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
