		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.
		Judo, uniquely among combat sports, puts equal emphasis on the initial throwing and the final pinning and submitting phases of combat, ideally enabling practitioners to dominate grappling-fights from the get-go.

		The word Judo is composed of two kanji: "jÅ«", which means gentleness, and "dÅ", way or road (the same character as the Chinese "tao").
		Thus Judo literally means "the gentle way", or "the way of giving way", and may also be defined as "the way of suppleness", "the way of flexibility, or "the way of adaptability".
		Judo takes from jujutsu ("gentle art") the principle of using one's opponent's strength against him and adapting well to changing circumstances.

	EdGate Summer Games
		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.

		Furthermore, Canada took their smallest delegation since the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, and many Canadian athletes far exceeding the IOC standards in their particular sport didn't qualify, meaning these athletes were denied a well earned right to represent Canada at the Athens Olympics.
		In other words, based on the Canadian Olympic Committee's tough qualifying standards for Summer Olympics, a promising high performance athlete will likely not experience an Olympic dream until they are beyond their sport specific prime, and that's not right.
