Judo Terminology

Judo Terminology The following compilation of Judo Terminology is probably the most comprehensive source currently available. The terms provided have been sourced from many various reference materials, some dating back several decades including the turn of the 20th century and from references between the transformation of Judo from Ju Jutsu in the late 19th century. Therefore depicted are some terms that are rarely used today though they are included for historical reference and comparison. Old names for modern terms are also included, as are names of variants where known. Some terms are prominent in Japan only and do not get used in the West, whilst others may only be used specifically in a given country. It must be remembered that some terms are common in other styles or systems of Martial Arts, however they may not be the same or of similar technique as used in Judo. Terms may have differing meanings through translation. Some terms are listed twice or more as they may have both Martial meaning and everyday use meanings that are different. As in all languages, some words or terms cannot be directly translated, as they are unique to the language or culture that they originate from, therefore these terms have been expanded to give an understanding of their meanings. Also translations of the terms have been added too for the reader to understand whether the term is a throw, hold, lock, strangle, etc. It should be remembered that terminology used in Martial Arts generally, are not used in the everyday language of its country, therefore if you were to try using some of the terms in speech, you may get a bewildered look from a native Japanese unless of course they have trained in the Martial Art also. Whilst every attempt has been made to compile in alphabetical order, this may not be fully guaranteed, as usually Japanese terms when westernised become hyphenated between words, this hyphenation has been excluded as it is not accurate, to enable the list to be alphabetically compiled but some omissions may be present. Over time some words have become un-hyphenated and are used in their entirety as standard. Again, spelling is considered complete and accurate at time of writing, however there may be some mistakes. Whilst this list is comprehensive, it may not be complete and further research or input from other sources may expand the list further. Please feel free to contact with any suggestions you may have.
