Judo IS a Japanese martial art, developed in 1882 by professor Jigoro Kano when he was in his early twenties, in order to preserve the long traditions and culture of the samurai arts, but updating them to better suit the modern times.

His intention was to create a modern martial art, witch would make the practitioners good members of society under the banners of seiryoku-zen'yo and Jita-kyoei, or maximum efficient use of energy and mutual benefit for self and others. Judo quickly became popular, and judokas defeated many jujitsu champions
