Who is Uchi Banani?
The judo monkey’s name is Uchi Banani. He got his name (thanks to one reader) because of his two loves of his life:
Uchi Banini first featured in the Koka Kids Junior Judo magazine way back in edition 15, and he has been a firm favourite in helping judo kids learn about judo ever since.
The Judo Monkey
Uchi-Banani, the judo monkey now brings many of the judo books to life with tips and advice from how to do the perfect ukemi to how to tie a judo belt up or do a judo throw.
