My Take
James Bregman is a figure I find genuinely moving. As a member of the first American judo team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, he won bronze on the sport's home soil, then earned World Championship bronze and Pan American gold. What captivates me most is that he studied at Sophia University in Japan, immersing himself in the source culture rather than admiring it from afar. Founding and presiding over the United States Judo Federation, he was both competitor and builder. I deeply admire people who master a passion and then become a bridge between nations. A true pioneer.
