DeleteJudo is a tremendous and dynamic combat sport that originated in Japan as a derivative of the various martial arts developed and used by the samurai and warrior class over hundreds of years.It demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline.The word judo consists of two Japanese characters, ju, which means "gentle", and do, which means "the way". Judo, therefore, literally means the way of gentleness.
ReplyDeleteThe rules of the sport of judo are complex. The objective is to cleanly throw, to pin, or to master the opponent, the latter being done by applying pressure to arm joints or to the neck to cause the opponent to yield.Techniques are generally intended to turn an opponent’s force to one’s own advantage rather than to oppose it directly.
Tae Kwon Do (Taekwondo): the Korean art of self-defense, one of the oldest forms of martial arts (reaching back over 2,000 years), and the most widely practiced martial art in the world.

Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, as compared to other martial arts such as karate. In addition to self-defense training, students learn prearranged sequences of techniques known as forms or poomsae (known in other martial arts as kata).Tae kwon do and judo are the only two martial arts included in the Olympic Games.

ReplyDeleteThis art was brought to it's current state during the reign of the chera,chola and pandiya dynasties. During this period, adi murai incorporated some greeter weapons from silambam, after modifying their techniques yo suite it's weaponry science.
Adi murai was later adopted by the raja of travancore, in order to train his armies. The nadars of travancore were primarily from tinnevely or tirunelveli,who migrated to travancore,after the king of travancore captured contiguous parts of tinnevelly areas like tenkasi.
