Okay, so I know it has been a bit since I have posted… but I plan to be more regular now that I am back in class.

It’s been great to ge back into class.  I find that Judo is not only a great workout (I come out completely drenched in sweat), but that it is so much easier to stick with than anything else I have done.  I think it is the competitive/collaborative nature of it that is so appealing.  Whoever I am working with I am competing with in one sense, and that we are really pushing each other and challenging each other.  But we are also very supportive, complimenting eachoter, and tryign to point out ways to improve.

I also feel so much more capable.  Whenever I rough-house now with someone who is not in my Judo class I am stunned how much more capable I am.  It has improved my strength, and my self confidence.

In Judo we have been working a lot more on our ground games lately, which works great for me, because my foot is still recovering.  I do look forward to the throws again though… in particular I am wanting to work on my Tai Otoshi… I have read several Judo champs who say that this move is one of their favorites.  I intend to add it to my short-list of “go to” moves.

I will keep you posted and how things are progressing.  In the meantime, want a great workout, better skills, and self confidence for $50 per month (3 classes per week)?  Come join us.

It’s good to be a Judo Junkie.
