Judo, one of the most popular martial arts, comes from Japan and it is quite well-known in Viet Nam. When we do
judo, we will learn some basic techniques in throwing, grappling, and striking. We learn them carefully and steps by
steps so that we do not have to worry too much about injuries. Judo teaches us how to train our bodies and minds as
well as how to use our energy in the best way. It first appeared in the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964 and since
1972 it has been an official event in the Olympic Games. Vietnamese judokas - people who do judo - have won
some international recognition and are trying their best to win first medals in the Olympic Games.
