Judo–A Modern Martial Art

This white T-shirt arrived in the mail today.

It had one Japanese word printed down the side which translates to Judo.

Judo was developed by Jigoro Kano in 1882 and is considered a modern martial art.

The objective of judo is to throw or take down your opponent to the ground.

You can also subdue your opponent with a pin, a joint lock or choke hold.

Some of the thinking with judo is that you can take down a larger opponent by throwing them off balance and then being able to subdue or control them.
