my husband did judo for some years (he is unofficial AS) and he loved it. He finally decided to quit when he was getting too many injuries and it was interfering with his studies, but there is Judo for international competition and then there is other Judo for other purposes, and he was in the super-competitive kind. Obviously, you don't have to do the kind where you break all the bones in your body like jackie chan has. I think one of those stories written above is fiction but he did actually have a somewhat cruel sensei, though not that cruel. Um... If you have a teacher who cares more about the students' safety than about winning matches I think it's good. You could email us with questions in English or Spanish at nl.gf.ss at gmail dot com.

| I do American Kenpo and Jujutsu. It's done me a lot of good, especially for my posture (which was extremely poor, I'd always walk hunched over so I wouldn't meet people's eyes) Jujutsu-especially the groundfighting aspect- has been especially good for me, because it has helped me confront my fear of physical contact. I'd definitely reccomend it. |

there's other stuff that martial arts can help with, too ... he said judo helped him with fear of or dislike of touching people. he's much more able to touch people than I am, for example, although he still doesn't like it in a social context unless it's someone he really knows well.
