    Why Judo Is Still The Most Effective Close-Range Art !!

    Send us Fan Mail “Today we’re talking about why Judo — created in 1882 — is still a powerhouse in 2025 for real-world self-defense, especially in close-range combat where most real fights actually happen.” Studies and law-enforcement data show: •80–90% of real altercations start at arm’s length or closer •The average person closes distance immediately (adrenaline + tunnel vision) •Fights turn into grabs, pushes, clinches, tackles — not movie-style striking exchanges This is the range where Judo lives.
