The techniques of Judo rely on timing and leverage, not brute force. A smaller weaker person can defend themselves against a larger stronger person using the principles and techniques of Judo.
Judo was created in 1882 and is a combination of the best techniques from the various school of Jujutsu, Jujitsu, or Jiu Jitsu that existed at the time as well as techniques created by the founder and practitioners of Judo.
Modern martial arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Sambo are offshoots of Judo.
