Kano was a relatively short person, but he could take on those larger than him, usually with an ''uki-goshi'' (floating hip throw), which was an original technique he created when he founded judo. He also gave names to techniques other judoka created, e.g. ''tomoe-nage'' (circular throw). He was the first [[Japanese]] member of the International Olympic Committee.
