Biography

Born with Kyoto - the old imperial capital - in 1899, Mikinosuke Kawaishi studies the Jiu-jitsu at the school of the Japanese Dai Butokukai with the Japan.

In the Years 1920, its completed formation, it leaves its country to go to teach the Martial arts, initially with the the United States (in particular with San Diego and New York), then starting from 1931 in Great Britain. On its arrival, he teaches in Budokwai of London directed by Koizumi. He creates then a club of Jiu-jitsu to 3 {{E}} daN]]. Arrived to France in October [[1935 in sport|1935]], Mikinosuke Kawaishi, which has just received its [[Belt in the budo|4 {{E}} daN]], starts to teach there it [[judo]], which had had much evil hitherto to be essential in spite of several stays of its founder [[Jigorō Kanō]]. In July [[1936]], Kawaishi creates the '' Club Free-Japanese '', and it [[July 28th]], it accommodates its first pupil there, [[Maurice Cottereau]]. It will give birth to there, through a personal teaching, a passion for this sport, which will take root and will develop. Mikinosuke Kawaishi will gather around him the first French judokas and, in spite of a character considered to be too authoritative, he will arrive, by imposing a personal method, codified according to a nomenclature considered to be in conformity with the Western spirit, to make hatch the French judo, on which he will exert during many years an uncontested authority. Concerned of pedagogy, it takes again the system of the belts of colors worked out by the English judoka surrounding Gunji Koizumi. Belts of color, corresponding to the intermediate ranks between the beginner and it [[Belt in the budo|girdle black]] did not exist in the Japanese judo. The national and international success of the method Kawaishi, fruit of the joint work of the Japanese expert and Moshe Feldenkrais, is at the origin of the generalized adoption of this typically Western system. At the end of [[the 1937 in sport|year 1937]], the '' firm Club Free-Japanese '' his doors and amalgamates with the '' Jiu-Jitsu Club of France '', located at 82 rue Beaubourg. Founded one year earlier by [[Moshe Feldenkrais]] ([[Jigorō Kanō]] the presidency of honor accepted), this club is the emanation of the section judo-jiu-jitsu of the Special School of Public works of the Town of Paris initiated by Feldenkrais about 1929. Kawaishi thus ensures the technical direction of the JJCF which becomes the first permanent structure of the French judo. In [[1938]], Mikinosuke Kawaishi receives [[Jigorō Kanō]] to it [[Belt in the budo|5 {{E}} daN]]. The following year, it [[April 20th in sport|April 20th]] [[1939 in sport|1939]], in its turn, Maître Kawaishi decrees the first [[Belt in the budo|girdle black]] [[judo]] with one of its French pupils [[Maurice Cottereau]]. During [[the Second world war|war]], it continues its work of pioneer to the entry in war of [[Japan]], which obliges it to regain its country. First [[Judo|championship of France of judo]] proceeded, in its absence, with [[Wagram room]], with [[Paris]], it [[May 31st]] [[1943]]. They are organized under the responsibility of the new section of judo-jitsu of the French federation of fight created in April 1942 following the application of the new texts governing the practice of the sports in France (Charter of the Sports). From return in France in [[1948]], Mikinosuke Kawaishi will take again the teaching of its method and will publish, thanks to the essential collaboration of Jean Gailhat, several works from [[the Fifties]]. Kawaishi, by its modernistic vision, knew to transform the Japanese judo into a practice accessible to the Westerners. As a true contractor, it organized the teaching of the judo on a commercial and professional basis which gave to the French judo a coherence and a quality, sometimes décriée but always envied.
