I try 2 words on python-3 version (https://github.com/NetDenizen/kanji_to_romaji3)

柔道: juudou
テコンドー: tekondoo But the results doesn't correct. For first, 柔道 --> Judo. テコンドー must be Taekwondo. Anyone tried with it?

Haha! This is funny, because the way it outputs, is exactly the way it should be read! I understand the proper way of writing Judo, but that's beyond the scope of what it's designed to do. From what I understand 'jūdō / juudou' are about the only correct rōmaji for 柔道, with Judo being the American spelling
