Judo is a Japanese art of self-defence and a sport with Olympic recognition. Judo training is an ideal form of physical exercise and it serves as a great cardiovascular workout, which improves stamina, general health and overall fitness. It is best known for it's spectacular throwing techniques but also involves considerable grappling on the ground utilizing specialised holds, arm locks and choking techniques.
