Judo-do is a system of throws intended to extend Judo that was developed by Professor Julius Fleck (1894-1967) and others in Austria.
The throws have unusual names like: The Climbing Plant, The Twins, and The Blessed Earth. Many throws are based on different throwing principles than conventional Judo throws. For example, several throws use the idea of sacrificing one's balance and then regaining it by pulling against the the opponent as his or her body passes the thrower, with both actions accelerating the opponent.
When Fleck passed away, the system was inherited by Professor Wally Strauss in Australia. He modified it and named his system Ido. The inheritance of Judo-do and Ido passed back to Europe when Strauss died in 1987. Teaching of Judo-do and Ido is now largely limited to Austria and Germany, and Australia.
