Kano Jigoro shihan had a vision for judo, for the martial art that he created in 1882 as a 22-year-old to be disseminated across the world. Fast forward 136 years, from that time, and the International Judo Federation, the Olympic sport’s world governing body, counts 196 countries and five continental unions as its members and 26 of them won medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics Games.
