Judo sport is a spectacular and dynamic fighting sport, which demands both physical skill and mental. This includes techniques allowing you to lift and dump your opponents onto their backs from standing. The objective is to throw, pin cleanly, or master the opponent, the latter being done by applying pressure to arm joints or to the neck to cause the opponent to yield.
Judo is a martial art that is usually learned for self-defence. The rules of the sport of judo are complex. This game originated in Japan, although now this game is also a part of the Olympics. In India too, the number of people who like this game is very high. It is the most practised martial art in the world, as well as the second most popular sport in the world after football. Combat sports develop self-discipline that is built on respect for oneself and others.
How Judo is played
To play Judo, both players come to the ring and greet the judge and referee. The game starts at the behest of the referee and both the players push each other back and forth by screwing different stakes.
When the player is unable to free himself from the grip of the opponent, then the player accepts defeat. Games are played for between three and 20 minutes. If scores are tied, the bout goes to 'golden score' or overtime. The first contestant to achieve another score is chosen as the winner.
Judo Special Decisions
1. If a player refuses to participate in the competition, the opposing player is declared victorious. It is called victorious because of Shruti.
2. If a player repeatedly commits a prohibited act even after a warning from the referee, he is awarded a foul. Let's defeat it because of rule violations.
3. If the player is not able to play further due to injury, then the player who made the mistake will be considered defeated, if the injury is due to the opponent's mistake, then the opponent is defeated or if the injury is due to his own mistake, then he will be considered defeated and the opponent victorious.
Playing Area
The competition area of judo is covered with mats and has a minimum of 14 x 14 m dimension. It is divided into two sections with an inner area of 8 x 8 m to 10 x 10 m called the contest area and an outer area of at least 3 x 3 m called the safety area. The mat is usually made of vinyl-covered foam and is called "tatami".
Referee - Stands in the contest area and judges the competition. In case a dispute arises, then the referee and two judges consult each other and come to a decision.
Judges - Two corner judges ensure that the whole of the competition/match takes place inside the contest area.
Timekeeper - Time the length of the competition and the holds.
Recorder - Keeps a written record of the score and results of all the matches.
