The Toughest Man Who Ever Lived

A book about Conde Koma s life by Nori Bunasawa and John Murray We dedicate this book to the memory of Mitsuyo Maeda "Conde Koma" and to all the young men and women who struggle daily to acquire the skills that made him such an indomitable force in the martial arts. And we salute the Gracie family, which has carried on with such stunning success what Maeda had begun. Of all the Gracies, we single out Carlos and Hlio as the most formidable example of toughness and raw courage since Maeda's reign.
