 Judo (柔道 jūdō?, meaning "gentle way") is a modern
martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in
1882 by Jigoro Kano (嘉納治五郎). Its most prominent
feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to
either throw or takedown an opponent to the
ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with
a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a
choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as
weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-
arranged forms (kata(型)) and are not allowed in judo
competition or free practice A judo practitioner is called a
judoka.
 The philosophy and subsequent pedagogy developed
for judo became the model for other modern Japanese
martial arts that developed from koryū (古流?, traditional
schools). The worldwide spread of judo has led to the
development of a number of offshoots such as Sambo and
Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Bodhidharma, or Da Mo in Chinese, traveled to the temple for
religious teaching, but found the monks weak and in poor health.
To find a way to give the monks strength and vitality, Da Mo locked
himself in a room for nine years of meditation. His resulting
work, Yi Jin Jing, a series of exercises which developed strength,
vitality, and internal energy, is considered the original Shaolin
martial art.
 Historically, Kung Fu in China was an integral part in the education
of scholars and the leaders of government. The Chinese people
placed great value in the practice of Kung Fu because they felt it
taught respect, patience, humility, and morality.
 Many Americans believe that Kung Fu is a term which describes a

Kung Fu is a general term which includes hundreds of styles of
Chinese martial arts. Some examples of Kung Fu styles are Long

believe that Kung Fu is an external style and Taiji Quan is an
internal style. While most Kung Fu styles emphasize external
