Judo was the modernization of Jujitsu by Kano Sensei early in the 20th century. The basic idea of Judo is to take the
balance of the attacker. If he pushes, you pull, etc. Ultimately the objective is to throw the opponent with force. If a
solid throw is not performed, both wind up on the ground and an attempt is made to force the opponent to submit
through grappling. While competition is the primary form of training, some katas are also taught. It may be difficult to
imagine how such focused training can result in genuine self defense skills against various strikes, but the
conditioning in Judo is actually easily applied when one finds themselves faced with such a dilemma in real life.

Some schools teach a mixture of Judo and Aikido called either Tomiki Aikido (after Tomiki Sensei, the founder) or
Shodokan. Actually, they use the techniques of Aikido with the training methods of Judo (competition). This is an
example of a mixture discussed on the All Martial Arts main page under the Warning Against Rank, Credentials and
Mixing Martials Arts article (#4).
