Judo is best known for it's spectacular throwing techniques but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing specialized pins, control holds, arm locks, and Judo choking techniques. Judo emphasizes safety, and full physical activity for top conditioning.
As a sport, Judo marked its entry into the Olympics in 1964. It took four years for men to compete in Judo as an Olympic event in 1968. For women, it was only until 1994, when the first Female Judo Olympic was held. Further, in 1988, Judo was added as a Paralympic event.
The International Judo Federation is the world governing body for the Olympic sport of judo and is composed of National Judo Federations and Continental Unions. Today IJF has 200 National Federations on all continents. There are over 20 million people around the globe who practice Judo.
