Description
The Fédération française de judo et de jiu-jitsu (FFJJ), created on 5 December
1946, was the French judo federation. Its first president was Paul Bonét-Maury
(1946-1956); the presidency was held by French nationals, while Japanese master
Mikinosuke Kawaishi served as its technical director from his return to France
in 1948. Jean de Herdt passed his 5th dan under Kawaishi's direction in June
1956 within this federation. The FFJJ unified with the Kodokan-tendance
federation (UAK/FATK) under the agreement of 29 February 1956 to form the
Fédération française de judo et disciplines associées (FFJDA) and ceased to
exist as a separate body.
