Jim Bregman Awarded Rank of Judan

James S. Bregman

July 6^th, 2018

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Today at the USJF/USJA grassroots Junior, Youth, Team, & Kata National Championships, living legend Jim Bregman was presented with the rank of Judan (10^th Dan) by the United States Judo Association.

In very gracious remarks, Bregman Sensei publicly thanked several people – most especially his parents – for helping to achieve success as the first American Olympic judo medalist (Tokyo 1964) and beyond.

I cannot reproduce the entire list of people Bregman Shihan thanked, but Shufu-affiliated people he thanked included Don Draeger, Takahiko Ishikawa, and “Jimmy Takemori, one of my heroes”.

Congratulations and thank you, Bregman Shihan.
