On today’s episode of the Womanica Podcast, we tell the story of (1913-2013), the first- and still the only–female judoka to achieve the highest rank in the martial art of judo. She lived her life by the motto she used on the mat: “Be strong. Be gentle. Be beautiful.”

This month we're talking about movers and shakers: dancers, stuntwomen, martial artists, and other pioneering women who've used their physical prowess to shake things up.

Children have packed out this stadium for the whole grand slam, cheering for their heroes and today one of those young fans had the chance of a lifetime. 🥋
8-year-old Muhammed Shahverdili took on former world champion and Olympic silver medallist Saeid Mollaei in the final block of the Baku Grand Slam, with none other than Azerbaijan Olympic champion and true judo hero Elnur Mammadli as his coach.🇦🇿
It was a wonderful moment of friendship and fun, enjoyed by all in attendance and was a beautiful way to celebrate 50 years of judo in Azerbaijan.🥳
