Crossword Genius

One may get belted taking part in this sport (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

judo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this sport' is the definition.
(judo is a kind of sport)

'one may get belted taking part' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'do' (do is a kind of part) and 'do' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for judo that I've seen before include "Japanese combat sport" , "Throwing sport (from the Japanese for gentleness)" , "Contact sport" , "Martial art (not sumo)" , "13 art of self-defence" .)
