built 660 days ago
By 1886, Kano changed the Kodokan once again from his home in Koji-machi to the Fujimi-cho residence of the Meiji Era magnate, Baron Yajiro Shinagawa. And it was here during the next three or four years that Kodokan Judo achieved supremacy over the rival jujitsu schools.

With another two MOBO nominations coming his way this year, Kano is well and truly hitting his stride. He'll be joined onstage by Craig David to unleash tracks from 'London Town' for this year's BBC Electric Proms as part of 1Xtra's night.

Ninety-one-year-old Saburo Nango, a nephew of Jigoro Kano and 18 years his junior, remembers doing randori with his uncle in those early years. "He was small, but a very good technician," Nango recalls. "He was ... fast and very strong."

Over the next two years, Jigoro Kano ate, drank and slept ju-jitsu, practicing night and day at the point of exhaustion. Things got so bad he was even having nightmares about the martial art, shouting ju-jitsu terms in his sleep and kicking out at his quilt.

It's Kano's signature track, but two years on and he's playing with the big boys, doing big things with the Mitchell Brothers under the watchful eye of Mike Skinner. Home Sweet Home is refreshing and genuinely breathtaking. Believe the hype surrounding this young man - he more than lives up to it.

In 1995, Arnold Schwarchenegger filed a lawsuit against Kano, for sporting a metal plate on the right side of his face which made him mistakeable for a terminator. Needless to say, the two would not reach a settlement until 5 years later where Arnold personally apologized to Kano for being an unappreciative moron after learning Kano simply wore the metal plate because "it looked cool".
