Korean Judo (Yudo)

Yudo is the Korean designation for Judo, a martial art that was introduced to Korea from Japan in the early twentieth century. The sport is currently overseen by the Korea Judo Association and adheres to the international rules set by the International Judo Federation (IJF). South Korea has established itself as a dominant force in the sport for several decades, with Korean judoka consistently earning Olympic medals at every Summer Games they have participated in since 1984. This consistent performance underscores the nation's strong tradition and success in competitive Judo.
