Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, was not particularly small in stature; he was approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall (about 157 cm) and weighed around 105 pounds (48 kg) as an adult. However, his physical size did not hinder his abilities; instead, he emphasized technique and strategy over brute strength in Martial Arts. Kano developed Judo in the late 19th century, drawing from his experiences in various Japanese grappling arts, which allowed him to create a system accessible to people of all sizes and abilities.
