Jose Rizal: Not Just a Wise Man

We all know Jose Rizal, our national hero, was a very wise and well educated man. "Pepe" studied in two well known Universities, Ateneo De Manila University and the University of Santo Tomas respectively. But did you know Rizal was an athlete himself? In the picture below you can see Rizal practicing his fencing skills against Juan Luna.

According to former  Philippine Amateur Judo Association President Rey Jaylo, Rizal was the first South East Asian to master a Japanese Sport - JUDO. In another hand Rizal was also a Boxing practitioner so imagine him today in the UFC fighting one of the best! That would be so cool! :))
