JUDO

Judo (literally “the gentle way”) is an ancient martial art that makes use of the opponent’s strength to overcome him/her, thereby making it possible for a David to throw a Goliath. In the Meiji period (1868-1912), Kano Jigoro synthesized the existing schools into what is now an international sport.

JUJITSU

Jiujitsu (from Japanese Jû, ‘gentle’), uses holds, chokes, throws, trips, joint locks, kicks, and atemi (strikes to vital body areas). The techniques are gentle only in the sense that they are directed toward deflecting or controlling an attack; they can maim or kill.

KARATE-DO

Karate or karate-do (空手道) is a martial art of Okinawan origin. Karate meaning Open Hand and Do meaning the Way (The Way of the Open Hand).Rather than being the product of any one person, culture or era, karate is a synthesis of various Okinawan fighting methods, enhanced intermittently with various forms of Chinese kung fu. In modernity, it is categorized by some as Budo, introduced to the Japanese main islands from Okinawa in 1921 by various Okinawan practitioners who migrated to Japan during the early 20th century.

TAE KWON DO

A Korean martial art created in the 1950s, which grew from the basis of karate. Tae kwon do is practiced by the Korean police and military, but is also one of the countries most popular sports. Tae kwon do emphasizes the use of kicking techniques. Tae Kwon Do, Taekwondo or Taekwon-Do is the Korean national sport and most commonly practiced form of Mudo. It is also one of the world’s most commonly practiced sports. In the Korean language, Tae (태, hanja 跆) means “to kick or destroy with the foot”, kwon (권, hanja 拳) means “punch or smash with the hand or fist”, and Do (도, hanja 道) means “way or art”. Hence, Taekwondo is taken to mean “foot, hand art.

GRAPPLING/WRESTLING

Grappling is an element of many martial arts, and consists of techniques for handling the opponent in which the opponent is held or gripped rather than struck. This includes maneuvers to obtain a strong position (for example guard or mount), takedowns, various pins, submissions, joint locks, and pain locks. Chinese martial arts have a system related to grappling known as Chin-na which involves the use of acupressure points to obtain locks or to otherwise incapacitate an opponent.
Wrestle: the act of engaging in close hand-to-hand combat; “they had a fierce wrestle”; “we watched his grappling and wrestling with the bully”. Wrestling: the sport of hand-to-hand struggle between unarmed contestants who try to throw each other down.
