[Sportsandrec] Martial Arts and Sports

[Jody Ianuzzi]

Hello Saadiq 
I started judo 43 years ago and I can honestly say that the martial arts changed my life  I was a shy kid in school excluded from gym classes because I couldn't participate in all the ball games. I met my husband Tom in judo classes and we went on to teach our own club with sighted and blind students  our children also grew up with judo. I have also practiced jujitsu aikido and several other forms of martial arts. 

I now live in the Sebring Florida area although I used to live just north of West Palm Beach. Florida is the most active state for the martial arts in judo. There is a fantastic club down in Boca Raton. If you do a Google search for Florida judo you will find a website with all the club listings.

I am located in west palm beach Florida and have a background in Brazilian jujitsu and judo. I also wanted to know why this list is not more active? I know there have to be a lot of you that really enjoy sports and would love to see more discussions on GoalBall and other sports that people are participating in as I am new to all of this. Thanks for any feedback and looking forward to hearing from you.
