  Abstract:  The paper “PHYSICS AND BIOMECHANICS ELEMENTS OF ANALYSIS IN JUDO” tries to give a scientific substantiation to JUDO techniques with the aid of a physical and biomechanical approach. By emphasizing the connection between physics and biomechanics the paper describes the reason for which some JUDO phenomena occur, not the way they are supposed to be done. In this paper, we try to replace the notion “how is it done” with “why is it done”. With the aid of the themes presented, we try to illustrate and explain some notions from physics and biomechanics such as: scalars and vectors, centre of gravity of a rigid body, equilibrium of a body lying in the horizontal plane, and some simple mechanisms from physics and biomechanics applied in JUDO. The main idea that derives from the paper “PHYSICS AND BIOMECHANICS ELEMENTS OF ANALYSIS IN JUDO” is that the basis of any NAGA – WAZE technique is represented by the following two simple mechanisms THE BONE LEVER and THE FORCE COUPLE.
