This October 28, judokas around the world celebrate World Judo Day, a date established in 2011 to commemorate the birth of Jigoro Kano, creator of this martial art. More than a sport, judo, which means “way of gentleness” in Japanese, is a philosophy of life that encourages physical, mental and emotional development. Since 1964, judo has been part of the Olympic Games, and its practice focuses on teaching values such as courage, sincerity, courtesy and self-control, fundamental values in judo culture.
The Kano martial art was perfected by Kyuzo Mifune, who shaped the modern techniques taught today in dojos around the world. Each technique and combat is an opportunity for judokas to live the principles of courtesy, honor, loyalty and gratitude, internalizing the essence of this discipline.

In Argentina, Paula Pareto is one of the greatest figures in judo. La “Peque” became Olympic champion at the 2016 Rio Games, where she won the gold medal, an achievement that adds to her bronze in Beijing 2008. In addition, Pareto holds eight gold medals in national and international competitions, with her longest winning streak at the Pan American Championships between 2017 and 2020. His impressive career also includes a world title in Astana in 2015.
World Judo Day not only celebrates the legacy of Jigoro Kano, but also that of judokas like Paula Pareto, who inspire new generations through respect, bravery and dedication.
