The Judo team at Tsukuba University is coached by alumnus Hirotaka Okada, a 2-time world champion, and Olympic bronze medalist in Barcelona in 1992. To give you a feel for how productive the Tsukuba University Judo team is, wrap your arms around this. Current students and alumni of Tsukuba University brought home ten medals in nine different weight categories from the 2010 World Championships: 4 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze! Tsukuba also had two players on the Japanese women’s World Cup soccer team that defeated the U.S. last month.
