I read this and just had to share it. I think its pretty damn cool.... http://shine.yahoo.com/event/vitali...earn-judos-highest-degree-black-belt-2523297/
i had this on fb. You might have seen it from me Buddy'z comment was all kinds of stupid though. 'who needs a blackbelt, just go get a gun'
I'm glad people woke up and aren't so stuffy anymore about giving women the blackbelts cause they can learn all the judo stuff that men can. Many people back then really did show that Neanderthal part of them hehe
Read the article and noticed an inaccuracy. It notes that only four living people have the 10th Dan, with the other three living in Japan. George Kerr, OBE, who lives in Scotland holds a 10th Dan in Judo.
wiki says there are seven living judan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_(rank) - source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/feb/09/george-kerr-judo-10th-dan full list, sans the titular "girl" p) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_judoka#Highest_grades
