The name alluded to willow trees bending before the wind rather than resisting it. It reflected its founders philosophy that a wrestler should blend with his opponents energy rather than resisting it. While the philosophy is sometimes claimed as a root of modern judo, more tangible roots include Yagyu Shinkage-ryu kenjutsu and Kito-ryu jujutsu. Why? Because teachers of these styles invented the word "judo," meaning techniques designed to restrain rather than kill, during the eighteenth century, and taught judo pioneer Kano Jigoro to wrestle during the nineteenth century.
