Actually.... The kosen style Judo came about AFTER Madea left Japan. The popularity of the Judo newaza (matwork) was well established around 1900-1910 but so called kosen (high school) Judo grappling didn't come into existence until 1925 when the Kodokan made rule changes to emphasize the throwing techniques...
