My Body and Soul Column have never felt so strong; I love to introduce you to Keiko Fukuda. Read a story where neither age is a bar nor gender.
Dear Keiko recently became the first woman ever in history to become a 10th degree black belt in Judo. And what’s more impressive part of the fact is, she is 98-years-old. In a world dominated by men, Keiko Fukuda is the highest ranking woman in judo history - only three other people have ever achieved this level - and hence, not less than a true living legend. They were all men living in Japan. Keiko is also the last living student of Jigoro Kano who founded Judo in 1882. She still active; teaches classes to women and girls three times a week, and she often talks about the huge sacrifices she’s made throughout her lifetime as she worked towards this goal. Interesting! Praiseworthy! Know more about her life and work.
Interesting and encouraging...
