Arthur Canario (born in Brooklyn, New York) [2] is a former nationally ranked judo practitioner and collegiate football player for Long Island University at CW Post. [3] As an offensive tackle at LIU, [4] he became an Academic All-American and graduated magna cum laude in 1973. [5] He later attended the Georgetown University School of Medicine [5] and became an orthopedic surgeon. [4]
Canario started studying judo as a result of a Christmas present from his parents in 1965. [6] [7] When he began, at the Queens Judo Center in New York, his coach, Hank Kraft, said he had "two left feet". [5] However, he eventually worked his way to the top of the sport. [8] At the 1965 New York Yudanshakai Junior Tournament, held at the Prospect Park YMCA, he placed third in the 16-year-old unlimited category. [9]
At his peak, Canario was a 6'5, 220-pound heavyweight. [5] He was ranked as one of the top 3 judo fighters in the United States in 1971, [5] and won the national heavyweight title that year over Charles Hooks. [5] [10] Although he was named to the US International Team, [11] he was unable to compete at the 1971 World Championships in Germany. [12]
In 2006, he became a 4th degree black belt in judo [4] and competed in the World Masters Judo Competition. Two years later, in 2008, he won the United States Judo Association's Hall of Fame Award for Outstanding Male Masters Competitor. [13] In 2010, he won the bronze medal at the Grand Master and Kata World Championships. [14]
