Here is a little judoka, smiling brightly in his white kimono and red belt. Judo is a martial art from Japan, and its name means "the gentle way." It was created by Jigoro Kano in 1882 and is now practiced all around the world. The judoka's outfit is called a judogi: it is strong and specially made to resist throws and grabs. The belt shows the level of the student. Everyone begins with a white belt, and as they progress, they earn belts of different colors, up to the famous black belt, which represents skill and experience.

By coloring this page, you'll discover that judo is not only about fighting. It's also about respect, concentration, and self-control. Every judoka bows to their partner before and after a fight as a sign of politeness and gratitude.

Now it's your turn to add colors to this cheerful young athlete, and learn that judo is more than just a sport – it's also a philosophy of life!
