  A Lifetime of Judo: Keiko Fukuda
Fukuda's judo motto is: "Be strong, be gentle, be beautiful." For those unfamiliar with judo, it may be hard to reconcile the words "gentle" and "beautiful" with a sport in which competitors send opponents sailing through the air and slamming to the ground.
Fukuda said the goal of judo is to be "gentle on the outside" and "strong on the inside." In "Born for the Mat," she described training in Tokyo under a renowned judo master, Kyuzo Mifune.
Fukuda is renowned for her expertise in judo "kata,'' a choreographed, mock fight between two people that demonstrates, in various combinations, the martial art's offensive and defensive moves.
