		Judo assumes that there are two main phases of combat: the standing/tachi waza and the ground/newaza phase.
		Judo's balance between both the standing and ground phases of combat gives judoka the ability to take down opponents who are standing up and then pin and submit them on the ground.
		Judo became an Olympic sport for men in 1964 and, with the persistence of an American woman by the name of Rusty Kanokogi and many others, a sport for women as well in 1988 (both years given were the years that Judo was a demonstration event followed by an official medal event 4 years later).

		Judo is a popular wrestling form developed from jujitsu in 1882 by Jigoro Kano, a Japanese educator.
		Considering judo uses holds, chokes, throws, trips, joint locks, kicks, and atemi (strikes to vital body areas), it is hard to believe that its name comes from the Japanese word Ju meaning “gentle.” Judo is a discipline practiced today by over six million Japanese and many more athletes worldwide.
		A judo match is won by the first to score an ippon or its equivalent, which is the sum of two waza-ari, known as an awaste ippon.
