    • Newaza: is the Japanese term for ground-fighting or ground-grappling.
    • Ground-Fighting: used to be even more flexible in pre 1925 Judo than in current Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions, as competitors were not penalized for going straight into ground-fighting before getting a grip on the opponent.
  • Judo is a Japanese martial art founded by Professor Jigoro Kano in the late nineteenth century. It is a combat sport and a pedagogical system, which was further used as a model for almost all modern Japanese martial arts. Internationally, it influenced local fighting styles and created direct offshoots like Sambo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Judo has been in the Olympic Games since 1964 (Men) and 1992 (Women).
