A Japanese Martial Art-judo
Judo, meaning "gentle way", is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport, that originated in Japan in the late nineteenth century. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking the elbow or by applying a choke. Strikes and thrusts (by hands and feet) - as well as weapons defences - are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. While throwing opponents to the floor wins most matches, it is the only Olympic sport where submission holds allow choking an opponent or breaking an arm.
The Judo Rank System Judo created the system of ranks, now used in most other martial arts, that recognize a person's degree of knowledge, ability, and leadership. There are separate ranks for juniors (under 17) and seniors. Judo ranks are identified by colored belts, and ten degrees of advanced grades for black belts. Regular advancement encourages students to achieve more.
Principles and Goals of Judo The principles of Judo, such as "Maximum Efficiency" and "Mutual Welfare and Benefit", can also be used in our dealings with others in life. The ultimate goal in Judo is to develop oneself to the maximum extent possible, always striving for perfection, so that you can contribute something of value to the world.
Judo as a Sport In 1964, Judo became the first martial art to be sanctioned as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. Judo competitions are also held throughout the world. Points are awarded for throwing an opponent, holding an opponent on his back while on the mat for a designated amount of time, or forcing an opponent to submit via "tapping out" to an armlock or choke or rendering the opponent unconscious with a choke. A match is won with a "perfect throw" called an Ippon, two near perfect throws called Wazari, holding an opponent on his back on the mat for 25 seconds, a combination of one Wazari and holding an opponent down for 20 seconds, or submitting an opponent with a choke or armlock. Members of the Notre Dame Judo Club are registered as amateur athletes in the State of Indiana through the state judo governing body, Indiana Judo Inc. Members are offered frequent opportunities to compete. However, competition is not necessary for membership in the club.

Three Principles for Practicing Judo
Even a black belt judo man sometimes makes the mistake of trying to apply a throw before breaking his opponent's posture. If the opponent is also a black belt holder, he will react quickly to prevent the other man from applying a throw directly. Therefore the problem of how to break your opponent's posture is the first thing that must be studied.
A. Break your opponent's posture before applying your throw: kuzushi (unbalancing opponent).
It was Dr. Jigoro Kano who discovered this principle. In reporting his discovery, he said: 'Mr. Iikubo was over fifty years old at the time, but he was still strong, and I used to work with him often. Although I practiced my technique industriously, I could never vie with him. I think it was about 1885 that I found, while practicing randori (free practice) with him, that the techniques I tried were extremely effective. Usually it had been he who threw me. Now, instead of being thrown, I was throwing him with increasing regularity. I could do this despite the fact that he was of the Kito-ryu school and was especially adept at throwing techniques.
"The crux of my study was that a human body would lose its balance if it was only pushed backward or pulled forward. A carelessly standing man, however large and strong, leans backward if pushed from the front and forward if pulled to the front; his posture is broken. A strong opponent, however, may be able to resist your pushing and pulling. Even so, you can easily break his posture backward if you push him backward when he pulls you forward, or pull him forward when he pushes you backward. It must be emphasized that the throw to be applied is effective only when the opponent has lost his balance.
"I told Mr. Iikubo about this, explaining that the throw should be applied after one has broken the opponent's posture. Then he said to me: 'This is right. I am afraid I have nothing more to teach you. From now on, you should continue your study with younger men. I will no longer practice with you.' And he has refrained from practicing with me since. Soon afterward, I was initiated in the mystery of the Kito-ryu jujitsu and received all his books and manuscripts of the school."
B. Take advantage of the waist and abdominal region.
To apply a throw successfully, you must break your opponent's posture. To do this, you must take advantage of his long reaction time. This is done by harmonizing your motion with his. You can develop this ability through long practice. You must harmonize your motion with his, making thorough use of the forces working on you and your opponent.
You can break his posture and apply your throw with success. What is it that gives your actions vitality or life? It is the force of the waist and abdominal region, technically called the correct centripetal pressure.
C. Practice judo in a natural posture.
1. The natural posture is best for practicing judo.
It is clear that the natural posture is the best position for practicing judo (in throwing techniques) because it is the most convenient for a change in position and direction. This is a standing position with feet forming a 90 degree angle.
2. Grappling techniques require a different type of posture.
In throwing, you apply techniques by taking a standing posture. But grappling is done in a prone position, or at least with one knee placed on the mat. Free and easy motions are largely limited for you as well as for your opponent. So "gentleness" or "giving way" is not so evident as it is in throwing. A lower center of gravity and a large base mean shackled motions.
These are the three very important principles in the art and science of judo.

Long Lost Manuscript Resurfaces With The Well Kept Secrets Of A Judo Teacher!
I was just wondering would Kata Gatame be considered a "neck crank" if it is used to submit your opponent? Because im aware neck cranks are allowed in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, but they are forbidden in Judo...any thoughts?
Cheers
If you do it correctly, it's a choke (and pin), you're putting the same pressure in the same places as that sankaku jime (triangle choke). Look at the position of the uke in both positions, it's exactly the same.
If you have it , but not quite getting a choke I'm sure you can pull in on their neck and lean into them to crank it, but it's not designed that way.

Judo, or the Way of Gentleness, an ideal form of physical exercise and a reliable system, of self-defense, was specially created from traditional Japanese martial arts. This book by the creator of Kodokan judo is uniquely comprehensive and the most authoritative guide to this martial art ever published. Over a hundred years ago Jigoro Kano mastered swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Failing to discover any underlying principle, he set about designing a new martial art to reflect the concept of maximum efficiency in the use of physical and mental energy. Today, the concepts and techniques of judo taught at the Kodokan are the ones originally devised by their creator and collected together in this book. Covering everything from the fundamental techniques to prearranged formal exercises for both men and women, the book offers detailed explanations of how techniques are combined in two types of practice: randori (free practice) and kata (the practice of forms). In addition to a discussion of traditional methods of resuscitation, the book concludes with a useful appendix of information on the founder and the Kodokan International Judo Center, and a glossary of judo terminology. Fully illustrated throughout, Kodokan Judo will help students and instructors everywhere to discover the principles, techniques, and spirit of this popular martial art.

What Martial Arts Ranking Systems Really Mean
The first martial arts ranking systems in the martial arts were created by Jigoro Kano. He apparently picked up the idea from a ranking system used in swimming, and applied it to judo.
In the beginning there were but two belts, white and black, and truth, they didn't even use belts. Students wore either white gi or black gi.
Eventually judo got its act together and began using actual belts, creating a higher standard of judo black belt ranks, and the practice spread to Karate.
The original idea behind belt rankings is found in the words kyu, which means ‘boy,' and which was used to describe white belts, and dan, which means ‘man,' and which was used to describe a shodan black belt.
Possibly because of the zen nature of Japan, the kyu and dan ranking a system came to indicate a ‘statement of maturity,' which was manifest as a calmness of mind in the practitioner.
In the Karate belt order, possibly to better match the number of kata taught, and to make the teaching easier by separating the classes by rank, the brown belt rank was introduced. The Heian forms could be taught up to Brown Belt, intermediate kata were taught to brown belts, and expert forms (black belt kata) were taught to Black Belts.
As the size of classes grew larger, more ranks were needed.
A white belt is a beginner, a green belt is intermediate, a brown belt is advanced, a black belt is expert, and a fourth black belt is a master.
This expansion of ranks made teaching easier, and with viral expansion of karate across the planet, other martial arts started using ranks, and more belts came into vogue. The colors were originally based on white, green, brown and black, and further defined by tips on the belts, or stripes running the length of the belts. Eventually, Ed Parker, of American Kenpo fame, introduced the spectrum of color scheme, which was used to goal motivate and as a selling gimmick.
Here is how the karate belt colors were arranged some forty years ago
white
orange
purple
blue
green
brown (three degrees)
black (eight degrees)
The Parker kenpo ranking system ultimately became the standard for ranking systems, and though there have been more changes, this standard is fairly well adhered to.
Further changes include yellow belts for children, red belts for masters (though a red belt in some systems is sometimes used in place of or to augment brown belt ranking), different degrees of black belt, and so on.
That belt ranking is of significant importance is obvious, but there is an abuse built into the system.
Instead of goal motivation, some people turn into ‘symbol collectors,' and a black belt is just a symbol, and thus the spiritual maturity aimed at in the original ranking method is put aside.
And, in the interests of selling martial arts, some schools have too many belts, and have become ‘material heavy,' thus elongating the time necessary for accomplishment.
These problems aside, ranking systems do encourage practitioners, they do make teaching easier and more efficient, and even if some people are only graded on surface skill, the matrix is in place for ranking students in a more spiritual realm, which would be described as increased depth of personality.
