Dr. Jean Kanakogi is an amazing positive force not only in martial arts but in all that she does. She holds a B.S. and M.S in Criminal Justice/Protection
Management and a PhD in Psychology. She is a recently retired Senior Special Agent for the US Government with extensive experience in conducting criminal and administrative investigations. With a career spanning for over 25 years in law enforcement, Jean has been the lead investigator on several high-profile cases, some including the attacks on 9/11 and many that focus on protecting public health.
Besides her experience in executing search and arrest warrants, she connects with people through her expertise in resilience, emotional intelligence, deception detection, interrogation skills, firearms/martial arts tactics, and humor – she keeps it real. Dr. Jean holds a 6th degree in Judo and is a sought-after speaker and presenter in corporate, law enforcement, and mental health arenas because she is...well... a relatable badass!
Listen in as Dr. Jean shares how she was nearly born on the Judo mat, her experiences as a federal agent and public speaker, and how she celebrates her mother, Rusty Kanakogi, “the mother of women’s judo,” in her book, Get Up and Fight.
