Judo means the way of courtesy / mildness. It is a form of wrestling that was created at the end of the 18th century by the Japanese University Professor Jigoro Kano. In his youth, he studied all the forms of Jiu Jitsu and with the most useful elements he made his own system called judo. Jigoro Kano has set the goal of his martial art of shaping the human body and at the same time shaping the human character through spiritual and moral discipline.
Judo athletes use their hands and feet and practice through a system of predetermined movements that teaches the bases of attack and defense.
Judo is part of the Olympic Games, since the Olympics of 1972 in Munich.
Athletes are examined for their technical training by the Hellenic Federation of Judo (GNT) on the zone system that is called the "Kion Dan" system. The zone acquisition line follows the following order: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. At younger ages, we use half the colored bands.
