Judo

Hi, just wondering if anyone does judo or have one. I am thinking about joining a club. Had a taste of it before, and really liked it. Just wanting to know other peoples views/ experiences.

 

Thanks

Harvey.

Are you a climber? If so say goodbye to your knees.

yep . i shattered my left knee after taking up wrestling . was way too tired after climbing all day . I would say go for it , but be very very careful and dont over do it , it could cost you your lively hood , it almost did ( it may still yet ) mine .

If your quite flexible you will be fine doesn't have to be full throttle

 

More into sparring now keeps my temper in check

Ooh, i have bad knees to start with. I broke and dislocated one kickboxing years ago. I might have to look at something a bit softer then. No i'm not a climber.

Played Judo ( BJA ) for a good few years when I was younger . Gave it up as I was also playing competetive sqash at the same and my legs were getting " knocked up " too much .

I did Judo has a teenager and carried on till I was 30 , problem for me and the alike is we are knackered after a days work which can have dire consequences when having nage-waza and opposition then slaps you with a full IPPON score and you are then on your back hard .

 

Got too BLUE Belt and struggled with knee and neck problems.

Still have a valid Judo licence and my 8year old son does Jiu-jistu .

Next to rugby is the best sport in the world imo. Really great for all round fitness, generally very nice people run the club's and a fantastic way to burn off some pent up feelings. I also worked the doors for over 10 years and found it the most effective way to manage people in certain situations.Thoroughly recommend it. I'm nearly 40 and still get on the mat. I've just got my youngest into the sport at 6 and he's bitten by the bug.

Iv done judo since I was 7 years old and by the age of 14 was the Scottish champion twice. I have traveled up and down the country fighting and love it. I'm now 22 and still do it. Its a great sport when you get into it.

Hi Jack, nice one matey.

But i'm nearly 45, 2 knackered knees, and several other ailments, I did karate all through my twenties and early thirties but not done owt for nearly 10 years. I really miss the sparing and rough and tumble of it, just dont want any more injuries.
