depending on your age it can take different amounts of time. you have to be at least 16 years old to gain it.

Yes, both men and women are allowed to do judo. However, men and women may not fight each other in tournaments just practices.

The name of any martial arts practice area is the dojo(pronounced du-jo). The floor of it is called tatami (pronounced tae-ta-mee)

quite popular, actually. There are many Clive that you can sign in to and take courses. And i'm not completely sure, but i think that France is one of the best countries, having one many Olympic medals in judo.

If your a junior:

Yellow belt + 1 stripe = 4th mon

Yellow belt + 2 stripes = 5th mon

Yellow belt + 3 stripes = 6th mon

If your a senior it's called a 5th kyu

Judo is not a game. Judo is a martial art and an Olympic discipline. So, it is more appropriate to say that Judo is practiced instead of played.

Judo is practiced in a dojo.

A dojo is the place where Japanese martial arts are practiced.

I would think that instead of using your bisepts or triseps, in judo you have more use of you shoulders and back. This is only my oppinion, I have been diong judo for 7 years. But in saying this having powerfull biseps do wonders.

No, judo contains throws, hold-downs, arm locks, strangles, theory and also how to land safely

it may be sensei, like in karate, but im not completely sure

There are two opponents, both wearing gees (not sure about that spelling) who "spar" on a mat about 10 by 10. to win a match, you must get a full point (epone). to get a full point, you can throw your opponent flat on their back or pin them for 25 seconds. there are also half points, quarter points (which don't add up), and penalties (which are quarter points). you can be thrown out of a match/competition by getting 4 penalties. there is 1 ref, backed up by 2 corner judges, who help him with the points and stuff.

if you ever have the chance to go to a judo tournament, i suggest it. its a great experience and fun to watch

i have been doing judo for 5 years, and have gone to 6 competitions

Many. For safety purposes, most dojos will use mats, makiwara for conditioning, punching bags, stone weights, bamboo poles, ceramic and metal weights. And for the sports side they use soft mits, feet, groin, mouth guards.

As with all Olympic sports, starting one or two Olympic before you will compete, work hard, get on the national squad. Through national and international competition success and consistency over the intervening years, secure a place on the national Olympic team. Go to the Olympics, beat all nations, win Gold.

Yes it is, as every martial arts. The important is not what martial art you practise but how are you able to face a danger. Practising will give you some advantages, reactivity, speed, timing, appreciation of space, behavior ... . But those are common to every martial art. Fighting is more a question of human than technics.

They are all martial arts from Asia. Kung fu is from China and karate is from Okinawa. Judo, kendo and aikido are Japanese.

White, White-Yellow, Yellow, Yellow-Orange, Orange, Orange-Green, Green, Green-Blue, Blue, Blue-Brown, Brown, Black, Red-White, Red

Paralympic Judo participants are visually handicapped.

Japan won 37 medals at the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004.

Japan won 16 golds, equaling its highest ever total, recorded on home soil at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In terms of gold medals the country finished at a highly credible 5th, behind the U.S., China, Russia and Australia. Judo and swimming yielded especially large medal hauls, but Japanese competitors also struck gold in the women's marathon, the men's team gymnastics, the men's hammer and women's freestyle wrestling.

A Judo Gi. The Gi in Japanese is translated into uniform. There are different types of uniforms. White and Blue, competition one and non-competition.

Normally you will wear your non-competition uniform in your Dojo (the hall where you train with your instructors)

And you'll wear your thick and heavy Gi to competitions.

Also, it's very useful to own both white and blue uniforms. Because at competition you may be asked to switch colours.

I personally use my blue Gi for competitions and my white Gi when I'm training.

Hope this helps :)
