Uchi Mata

Uchi Mata is a very realistic and contemporary realisation of the Japanese fighting sport Judo, which nowaday serves for self-defence. Since the 20th century this sport has become known and famous world-wide, so that today many international sports Judo tournaments are carried out. Since 1956 there are Judo World Championships. Since 1964 Judo is an Olympic discipline (with disruption).

A Judo match is carried out on a judo mat between 2 persons. Hereby blows and kicks are forbidden. It is allowed to use clever fighting techniques to hold the opponent at bay or throw him on the mat.
