Judo in Japan


Judo is one of Japan's traditional national sports. It takes a lot of time and practice to learn it well. Some people begin judo in clubs in junior and senior high schools. And colleges may have judo clubs too. There are also many private judo schools for those who want to learn it.


The color of the belt is a way to tell what a person's level of ability in judo is. It can be considered a kind of rank. You wear a differnet color belt at each stage of your proficiency. The black belt indicates the highest rank.

Judo means something like "the gentle way." The implication is that in judo you can win without using force. Judo incorporates both mental and physical training. But it's not mystical. It involves mastery of specific techniques.
