Eh... I know he trained but not enough to be well versed with the 3/4 sleeves that they wore back then, imo.
And you know this how?

Blame your parents and their parentsLincoln by sub most likely. Taft is too big for him in straight wrestling, imo.
There's a lot of boxer/wrestler presidents.

Wtf happened America??
The internet?And you know this how?
This one only covered a month of training. Other sources mentioned training back in 1902 as well.“during March and April 1904, Roosevelt practiced judo three afternoons a week, using a ground floor office in the White House as his workout space. Then, for the rest of the summer, he practiced occasionally. He stopped training during the elections, and there is no record showing that he resumed his studies afterward.
The President’s training partners included his sons, his private secretary, the Japanese naval attache, Secretary of War William Howard Taft, and Secretary of the Interior Gifford Pinchot. When these people were unavailable, then Roosevelt tried his tricks on husky young visitors.”
1. Did TR study some form of judo or jiu-jitsu?
Yes, Roosevelt trained some form of judo or jiu-jitsu during two periods in his life, but not for the years indicated in various unsourced stories in the media.
The first period of training took place from March to June 1902, with Professor John J. O’Brien of Boston, as reported in Roberto Pedreira's book Craze: The Life and Times of Jiu-Jitsu, 1854-1904 (Volume 1).
Roosevelt also trained from March 9, 1904, to no later than April 23, 1904, when he wrote a letter of thanks to his teacher, judo's first-ever 10th dan, Yamashita Yoshitsugu, "closing my wrestling lessons with you."

(Personally rank his eldest son higher on badass scale but thats not related to president stuff and is just my opinion)

I tend to believe that the 1904 training sessions (2-3x a week for month) is the longest training he did in Judo or they would have mentioned his schedule in 1902.
Stormed the beach on D-Day when he was 56 and walking with a cane. Died a month later. Won the medal of honor for it. There's a movie called The Longest Day about it, where Henry Fonda plays him.What did his son do?
"Yes, I'm wearing Capri pants. Prolem?"
Multiple sons. Quentin Roosevelt was a fighter pilot in WW1. He was shot down and killed. He was only 20.Teddy Roosevelt and his son were built different.
Joe mumbles I mean Biden.the moron who started ww3.
I hope everyone's packing their nuclear under wear for the draft.

His sons Kermit and Archibald also fought in both ww1 and ww2.
Partly. The German people highly respected both the father and son, and the Germans buried Quentin with full military honors and made a grave for him. But there was a photo of Quentin's downed airplane, with him lying dead next to it, which some members of the German government passed around as propaganda photograph. Apparently it mostly had the opposite effect, as the German public thought it was a really distasteful thing to do.Think quentin is still the only us presidents son to fall in combat
Germans were apperantly very respectful to the body and family since guy gave up life of comfort i remember reading
Abe Lincoln is in the wrestling Hall of Fame. Back in the day towns would challenge other towns with a wrestling match. Champion vs Champion and Abe was 299-1.
