Hey y'all! This was my old book that I found and decided on revamping. What is Judo? Judo was originally created in 1882 by Jigoro Kano as a physical, mental, and moral pedagogy in Japan. It is generally categorized as a modern martial art, which later evolved into a combat and Olympic sport. To me, it's life and death, I grew up in it, and it saved my soul.
