Learn something about judo techniques!

If you plan to become a serious judoka, good technique is a must – no matter how strong you are. You need to get to know Judo basics properly, starting from the basic throws.

Judo is a martial art that means ‘gentle way’. Its history is deep and has spawned many other martial arts that follow its disciplines. It is a method of teaching that includes metal, physical and moral techniques.

Judo techniques are divided into three major categories: nage waza (throwing techniques), katame waza (grappling techniques, and atemi waza (vital-point striking techniques).

Nage waza are many and varied, their purpose being to unbalance an opponents posture and throw the opponent to the floor.
