Bernard Pariset (December 21, 1929 – November 26, 2004) was a French judoka and jujitsuka who studied with many Japanese masters including Jigoro Kano's student, Mikonosuke Kawaishi, and his assistant, Shozo Awazu.

He was one of the few non-Japanese to reach the level of 9th Dan and has been officially recognized by both the French Judo and Ju-Jitsu Federation (FFJDA)[1] and the IFNB (International Federation Nippon Budo).

This title is not officially recognized by the Kodokan.

Founder of the Atemi Ju-Jitsu system in the late 1940s,[2] he designed the first judo and jujitsu methodologies still in use at the FFJDA.

He was also famous for defeating judo heavyweight Anton Geesink.
