[Sportsandrec] Judo in my life starts up again!

[Aziza]

Sure thing. I didn't think I'd be interested in it at first, but when I went 
to my first practice back in Febuary and saw the children that were so 
excited to teach us, i couldn't turn away. There is an eight year old who is 
my little buddy, he's adorable, and is so afraid of hurting me *smile* that 
I normally have to be shown the moves again by his older brother. I think 
there is a special element given off by seeing the entire family involved in 
the sport. At least it gave me the encouragement I neeeded.
Along with the kids father saying that he went into competition against a 
blind person, and thought he'd be able to win because the person was blind. 
He said he was killed on the mat, and would never under estimate a blind 
person in Judo again. *smile* Way to go whoever it was. So, now he wants to 
teach blind people Judo.
