The aim of this work is to explain how Kodokan Judo – a genuine educational proposal that sees the body as a way for whole education and human and social development – was subjected to backwards political instrumentalization in Japan, causing its replacement by the version proposed by ultranationalism. The methodology used throughout this work has been that of historical research: collection, assessment, verification, and synthesis of evidence that has allowed us to reach valid conclusions. They point out that such denatured version of judo eventually prevailed and was ‘exported’ to the West, suppressing the very nature of the conception of Kano judo and causing it to be virtually unknown to most practitioners.
