In 1882, judo was adapted by Kano Jigoro from the ancient art of jujutsu . Judo is a form of unarmed combat that involves overcoming one's opponent by, for example, throwing, pinning or holding him, or locking his joints. The biggest difference between judo and jujutsu is that, in jujutsu , punches, kicks and thrusts are permitted, while in judo they are prohibited as dangerous. Judo became an Olympic sport in 1964, in time for the 1964 Games in Tokyo. Joint techniques involving thrusts and kicks are used.
Equipment offers protection during training sessions, with thrusts being traded freely.
About 1,300,000 Japanese and 150,000 people in other countries practice Shorinji Kempo . Japanese Text Aikido Aikido was systematized by Ueshiba Morihei in 1922 from the daito aiki system of jujutsu . The object is to ward off an attack using the attacker's own force. Many moves involve joint techniques - locking the opponent's wrist, elbow or another joint in a reverse position, then throwing or pinning him. Such techniques can be dangerous, so training sessions concentrate on practicing techniques in the prescribed order.
