What is a black belt? A white ribbon that did not give up.
It’s funny how some sports of the century XX seem to be intended only for men. At first, the word “sport” itself was exclusively for the male sex: its origins, according to some sociologists and anthropologists, refer to the games that were played in ports, where sailors had to spend hours stranded, either loading or unloading materials or fuel or in some repair of the ships. For sport, port.
By 1933 a 26-year-old named Katsuko Kosaki was the first woman to obtain a black belt in judo. Her father, who worked as an academic, constantly took his daughter to bookstores. There Katsuko found a book on this ancient martial art and began his adoration for this practice.
After high school, her parents insisted that she get married, but what she wanted was to practice judo.
He met Yomeda, who would be his sensei for two years. In time Katsuko wrote to sensei Tobari to be his student.
Sensei Tobari had a partner, Sensei Kano Jigoro, a prominent Kodokan and writer of the book Judo Daigaku. The latter often chose Katsuko as a partner to perform some exercises in seminars.
In 1932 Katsuko faced three males to obtain his first degree black belt, beating them all. In 1933 the Kodokan awarded him his ribbon.
In time she opened her dojo. There is a movie and several shows tele inspired by his life.
Judoka
Tristan He entered the dojo where the judoka Carlos Marín was. He was famous because, although small in stature, he managed to defeat his opponents by knocking them down and applying keys that immobilized them. Tristan she took off her shoes and stepped onto the mat.
Carlos motioned for him to come closer. He knew someone had seen him murdering his wife and Tris he was coming for him, but first he would have to defeat him.
Tris saluted the dojo and before starting he took out his little .38 revolver and put it on the floor, just like the Glock of his calf.
He got close enough to land a spinning kick to the head that easily knocked his opponent down. He broke the mother with a single blow and subsequently put the handcuffs on the judoka’s wrists. He took him to the police station; it was easier than he imagined.
One of the origins of TKD It comes from the tea ceremony that gives the danes (degrees of colors) and that comes from judo.
