Thinking about Judo… Judo about thinking?

You know, I was standing in the shower this morning thinking about what moves would work best for me in Judo, and I realized I think about that almost every day.  This is a bit odd… Not because it’s odd that I like Judo, but because I have not found this whole obsession around strategy in other martial arts I ahve tried.

Prior to Judo I did wrestling in High School, and I did several types of Karate.  But I never found myself planning in my head every day in preparation for Karate class.  I would show up to class, punch a few people, kick a few people (I ahve to admit, I miss kicking people :) ), and then go home.

But Judo seems to be much more of a chess match, and not just a physical one, it is mental even moreso.

Have others found this same obsession?  Or am I just weird.  Oh wait, don’t answer that :D
