Meet Keiko Fukuda — the first and only woman to earn judo’s highest rank: a 10th-degree black belt 💥⁠
⁠
She trained under judo’s founder, taught until she was 99, and created spaces for women in martial arts that still exist today.⁠
⁠
Her motto? “Be strong, be gentle, be beautiful.” And she lived it — every day.⁠
