Kenji "Pisuken" Kano (嘉納 健治, Kanō Kenji, September 24, 1881 – October 30, 1947) was a Japanese boxing and MMA promoter, the founder of the International Jūkken Club (国際柔拳倶楽部) which promoted Jūkken matches between judo practitioners and boxers. He was also the founder of the Dai Nippon Boxing Association (大日本拳闘会). His promotional activities was instrumental to the popularization of boxing in Japan. He is the nephew of Jigorō Kanō, the founder of judo.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Kenji Kanō was born on September 24, 1881 in Mikage, Hyōgo, (present day Kobe), Japan.[1][2] Kenji was a student at his uncle Jigorō Kanō's private boarding school the Kanō Juku.[1][3]
As a youth, Kanō earned the nickname 'Pisuken' (ピス健), derived from 'pistol' and 'ken' (拳, fist) when he acquired a pistol from a sailor and practiced shooting to improve his marksmanship.[1]
Career
[edit]In 1909, Kanō founded the International Jūkken Club, headquartered in Hyōgo (present day Kobe), Japan. The club served as a platform for organizing and promoting hybrid matches between judo fighters and boxers. These contests were initially aimed at testing the effectiveness of judo as a combat sport against boxing while providing entertainment for Japanese audiences. Kanō's vision was to create a space where traditional and modern martial arts could coexist and evolve.[1] Kanō also organized and promoted matches between different styles of martial arts such as, "Wrestling vs Sumo," "Judo vs Sumo," and "Judo vs Wrestling."[4] The International Jūkken Club was a significant institution in the history of Japanese combat sports.[1]
The International Jūkken Club eventually became the Dai Nippon Boxing Association.[5] Kanō's efforts introduced boxing techniques to Japan, contributing to the development of the sport in the country. His fighting events helped lay the foundation for professional boxing in Japan.[1]
Kanō's work not only popularized boxing but also helped establish a framework for hybrid competitions, also known as mixed martial arts competitions which influenced the evolution of Japanese martial arts.[1]
