Violence is not the goal or aim of any form of martial art. The intent of martial arts is, and has always been, to train, educate, and improve the mental health and physical well-being of the participant. It has always held true that some have used the martial arts against people in violent acts, but this is clearly against the majority of their original intents.

As a kid involved in Judo & later stage in Taichi, push-hands & Taichi sword, I still recollect the times when after the sparring sessions I used to be swollen with pride with the number of bruises or types of pain which I had to endure, but, it is inconceivable at my present age of 40. You may already know that judo is a martial art originally created in Japan. What separates judo from other martial arts like karate or tae-kwon-do, kick boxing however, the thing is that judo is designed specifically with sport competition in mind. Whereas sparring in other martial arts generally requires use of pads and other protective equipment or light contact (pulling of punches or kicks), judo techniques can be performed at full speed and full force while maintaining safety. Judo is great because it teaches a strong ethos of self-defense, tradition, and respect. Nonetheless the rules of judo provide for strangulation techniques in which the blood supply to the brain is blocked by stress on the carotid arteries; such techniques create anoxia and possible coma if the wounded fails to submit.
