judo is a fantastic sport to take up...if you are seriously unfit (not saying you are) it can be very tough on the body so my advice would be to get your fitness level improved first... feel free to PM me if you want to discuss this in more detail..
second piece of advice would be to look up the British Judo Association website.. it is the officially recognised organisation of judo in the UK (there are others)... find a club and join a beginners class for 12 weeks...this will introduce you to the sport
from there you can move on...within 3 to 5 months you could start going to what are called 'Promotion Examinations'... this is a day where you will fight 2 to 5 contests against other players of your level and will be able to go through the grades, changing the colour of your belt (white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black)...
practicising 2 to 3 times a week and doing some fitness work you could hope to achieve a 'black belt' in about 5 years depending on your ability.
Judo is a really fantastic sport, will get you seriously fit and strong, develope self-confidence and provide you with serious skills for street defence...
haha if ever anyone threatens to punch me I say 'you better make sure you dont miss coz if you do I'm gonna pick you up and throw you right on the top of your head'... thats usually enough to stop them
The big difference with judo compared to Tae kwan do and karate is that judo is 'full contact' from day one meaning you will actually be fighting people instead of standing in a room punching air for weeks on end. Be aware however that judo is very demanding.
All in all I'd say go for it!!
Cheers Rick, definitely going to look into it with the view of starting something before the end of the year. Will PM you nearer the time for some more advice!
Those girls are tough! I'd be begging for mercy before we'd even started
I've been watching the judo, I was gutted for poor Euan Burton when he failed to get his Bronze Medal, he did well to get his head together once he knew his chance of a Silver or Gold had gone, I thought he was brilliant!
Hope he gets the Gold in 2012
Boltyness at 6/4 for the 100m looks good to me. Also Robles at 4/5 for the 110 and Lagat in the 1500 at 6/1.
Plenty more to follow.........
DD.
Lagat is out but Bolt really did bolt up and robles is best priced 2/11 now with the Chinese chappie out now. They were the 2 main bets (have a nice double on them too) so its happy days once robles takes home the bacon which i fully expect him to do.
