Judo is unique in that people of all ages, sexes, and abilities can participate together in learning and practicing the sport. Known for its spectacular throwing techniques, Judo also includes numerous techniques for controlling an opponent while on the ground. A good judoka, one who practices Judo, will first use timing and leverage to bring his opponent off balance and execute a throw. A judoka first learns “ukemi”, the art of falling properly to avoid injury. All Judo practitioners wear a judogi and a belt. Judo is practiced on mats for safety.
