 He then made a match against all comers, some 80 judoka from 1st dan to 4th dan, and threw them all within about four seconds in full view of the press, but even so, Geesink did not step down to fight him.After watching Geesink's victory in Paris, a frustrated Bluming retired from competition and focused only on teaching instead.In 1965, Bluming became the first non-Japanese in being awarded the 6º dan in karate from Masutatsu Oyama.
