Mitsuyo Maeda or he is better known a the Combat Count is a student of Judo founder, Kano Jigoro and Tsunejiro Tomita (One of Kano Jigoro first few students in Kano Ju Jutsu/ Judo)
Master Maeda went all around the world to fight and test himself with the best fighters from different discipline such as Wrestling and boxing
Finally he landed in Brazil and the rest as people would say was History
Watch the video and enjoy how much the gentle art has progressed since its formative years in Japan
I truly believe that Master Kano and Master Maeda are smiling wherever they are. Though they are no more on this earth, they have left us with something so much more than a sport but a lifestyle and a way of life.
They are truly the Immortal ones
