🖤 The Woman Who Bowed to No Limits: Keiko Fukuda 🖤 By BJJAfter40 (for our Judo brothers & sisters)

She was told to stop.
She was told to marry.
She was told Judo wasn’t for women.
She bowed deeply
…then rose higher.

Keiko Fukuda, the last surviving student of Judo founder Jigoro Kano, broke tradition to follow her path.
She trained for nearly 100 years.
Refused to stop….Refused to compromise.
And at age 98, she became the first woman in history to be awarded 10th-degree rank in Judo.

A rank once reserved for men.
A path once closed to women.
A life devoted to the art - when society offered her none of the rewards.

She taught from a wheelchair in her final years. She could no longer stand.
But her spirit never sat down.

“Be strong, be gentle, be beautiful,” she told her students. “Throw with soul.”

Fukuda-sensei didn’t just change Judo.
She changed the narrative.

For every woman on the mat…
For every older grappler who thinks it’s “too late”…
For every fighter told to give up

Let her story echo in your rolls.
Your throws and Your breath.

🙏 Thank you, Keiko Fukuda.
You bowed to no one but the truth.
