  • Kayla Harrison Promoted to 6Th Degree Black Belt
    Kayla is the only American to win a gold medal at the Olympics in judo. She did this in 2012 at the London Games. In 2016 when she repeated her victory, winning a gold medal at the Rio Games. Her second victory came about a month after I had accepted the position of Chair of the US Judo Association’s, National Promotion Board following my tenure as their President. Our promotion board was revamped with the additions of four former Olympians including Lynn Roethke, as Vice Chair who took a silver medal in 1988 and Jason Morris who took a silver medal in 1992. Knowing Kayla for more than a decade, I immediately thought that if she were Japanese, they would make her a godan (5th degree black belt for winning one gold medal). Since she won two, I suggested to our promotion board that we do something unprecedented and batsugun her (jump promotion) directly rokudan (6th degree black belt) a rank which the practitioner has an option to wear red and white paneled belt to signify they are the equivalent of Ph.D. in Judo. The promotion board voted in favor of my idea which was ratified unanimously by the USJA’s Board of Directors where another former Olympian serves as Vice President. So, I contacted Jimmy Pedro her longtime coach with the good news. He was elated and asked for us to send it to him for presentation which he did at a rally with Nancy Kerrigan in the Boston area where they both reside. Kayla is indeed a living example of Jigoro Kano’s principals in terms of thriving to be a fine person of excellent character.
