Judo is an unarmed modern Japanese martial art, combat sport, Olympic sport, Paralympic sport and Commonwealth Games sport. Judo is the most prominent form of Samurai throws and self-defense competed internationally. Judo was created in 1882 by Kan?? Jigor?? as an eclectic martial art, distinguishing itself from its predecessors due to an emphasis on "randori" instead of kata alongside its removal of striking and weapon training elements. Judo rose to prominence for its dominance over established jujutsu schools in tournaments hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, resulting in its adoption as the department's primary martial art. A judo practitioner is called a "judoka" , and the judo uniform is called "judogi" .
