Judo Fundamentals

Judo is not simply a combative art. It's a sport with a philosophy based on the concept of "beginning and ending with respect (a bow)" (Rei ni hajimari, rei ni owaru), and the spiritual discipline which this entails. This is why the Japan-born sport of Judo has been embraced by so many men and women around the world, and it's why Judo has been adopted as an official Olympic event.
