Description
A Toulouse judo club that became the cradle of the Kodokan school of French
judo. It was founded as the Olympo-Judo-Club, affiliated to the Budokwai of
London in 1947 while Pierre Landetcheberry directed it technically; when
Landetcheberry left, Georges Lasserre took over the technical direction and
renamed the club Shudokan. Georges and Robert Lasserre funded study bursaries
that brought Japanese judoka to Toulouse, notably Ichiro Abe, the first official
envoy of the Kodokan in Europe, who arrived in November 1951 and served as
technical advisor until his departure for Brussels in 1953. The club and the
French professors trained under Abe there - Pierre Roussel, Jacques Belaud, Luc
Levannier, Guy Pelletier - formed the core of the Kodokan-tendance opposed to
the Kawaishi method, which founded the Union Fédérale des Amateurs du Judo
Kodokan in October 1954.

The FFJ obituary and an independent regional history agree.
“C'est en 1951, au cours d'une campagne visant la promotion du Judo
Kodokan en Europe, qu'Ichiro Abe s'établit à Toulouse en France. Il a 29
ans, il est conseiller technique au Shudokan de Robert Lasserre et il est 6ème
dan !”
“Sur la base du mécénat, ils créent des bourses d'études et font venir de
nombreux étudiants japonais. Parmi ceux-ci, en novembre 1951, arriva à Toulouse
Abe Ichiro, le premier envoyé officiel du Kodokan en Europe. [...] A
l'expiration de sa bourse, Abe quitta Toulouse pour Bruxelles”

The France Judo obituary of Abe lists Pelletier among the reputed judoka around
whom Abe reinforced the rayonnement of Kodokan judo; Budo Éditions'
independent author biography states Pelletier met Abé in 1952, remained loyal to
him, and was tasked by him with developing Kodokan judo in France
“Il renforça le rayonnement du Judo Kodokan autour de professeurs et judokas
français réputés tels que Pierre Roussel, Jacques Belaud, Luc Levannier ou
encore Guy Pelletier.”
“En 1952, il rencontre Maître Ichiro Abé, à qui il restera fidèle jusqu'à la
fin de son existence. Il sera chargé par celui-ci de développer en France, le
judo du Kodokan.”
