Judo Techniques

Judo is a martial art focused on grappling, throwing, and submission techniques, emphasizing the efficient use of energy, balance, and leverage to defeat an opponent. Karate primarily focuses on striking, kicking, and blocking but shares principles with judo, such as proper body mechanics, balance, and the concept of using an opponent's force against them. Both arts stress mental discipline, respect, and self-improvement. Techniques like the hip throw (ogoshi) in judo resemble some karate throws, showing crossover in the concept of unbalancing and projecting an opponent.
