Judo is said to quite definitely a sport rather than a street-fighting art.
Judo is explicitly a sport version of jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu is a street-fighting art and judo was created from it expressly to make it a sport. The major distinction is that a lot of dangerous techniques (e.g. strangulation) are outright forbidden in judo.
