    Fukudo Sensei was the sensei to some friends of mine and people who helped train me. This a very deserving and overdue honor to her.

    Not to say she didn't deserve it, but belts and ranks are so arbitrary. My father is well-known martial artist Kang Rhee, and he is a ninth degree black belt, but that is only because some of his students moved to higher ranks, so he needed to move up.

    I don't think my dad ever really wants to be a tenth degree black belt, though he probably deserves to be many times over. It really would not jibe with his humble attitude toward life.

    Keep in mind that 10th degree black belt in Judo is rare and there are only a few living. While it is honorary it is awarded to people who have over their career in Judo shown exceptional ability in Judo and commitment to advancing Judo.

    So while many people could probably kick Fukuda Sensei's ass you would probably get your ass handed to you many many times over by her students and those she has inspired.

    Does the 10th degree come with a free haircut? I hope so.

    she has a steady diet of grilled golden retrievers to thank for her exceptional health status.

    When you practice only one thing in 90 years, anyone can be as great as her.
