Jigoro Kano was the founder of Judo in 1882. He had practiced many forms of Jujitsu prior to developing Judo. Kano was a very educated man who taught university students during the day and Judo at night. He was also the first Asian member of the International Olympic Committee.
One of my life long pursuits has been participation in sport Judo. It has been a huge factor in both my physical conditioning and character development since I was 10 years old.
