Description
Review article on the history and pedagogy of judo for children, including a section on early Western judo pioneers that discusses Moshe Feldenkrais's role in France: founding of the Jiu-Jitsu Club de France at 82 rue Beaubourg, shodan awarded by Kawaishi in 1936 (not by Kanō, and not directly recognized by the Kōdōkan), nidan in 1938, jujutsu largely self-taught from books, work under Paul Langevin in 1939-1940, and the finding from the Budokwai dan-rank register that Feldenkrais only joined the Budokwai in 1948 (debunking a 1932 shodan claim). Also covers Trevor Leggett (Budokwai shodan 1935).
