Description
Peruvian-born pioneer of judo in Spain.

He co-founded the first Spanish judo club, the Asociación Española de Judo y Jiu-jitsu (May 1950), later the Club Bushidokwai, and served as unofficial technical adviser of the Spanish Judo Department until Yves Klein's arrival in 1954. He published the Método de Judo del Gimnasio Bushidokwai and was awarded the Medalla de Oro al Mérito Deportivo in 1972.
