Basically says it all. Tell us about any sports you do, could be anything.
So, for starters, i'll begin
The sport that i've done, and begin doing again is Judo. (Judo basically means 'the soft way'. Wich is a damn lie, since you can fall hard enough)
It focuses on speed, and using your enemies power/speed against him, instead of sheer strength.
I've done this for years, and ended up with the brown belt. (for nublets to Judo and other fighting sports that use belts, the order in wich you get belts: white, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black... Every belt up to the black one is called a Kyu, and the black belt is also known as a Dan. There are 12 addition Dan's. For all i know, the only person to actually own the 12th Dan is Jigoro Kano, the 'creator' of Judo. Highest belt to be owned by anyone else is the 10th one. (Kano only got the 12th Dan after his death though).
Anyways, back to me. I've quit doing Judo when i started a new education, wich, translated, means Orientational Year of the Army Wich was basically 1,5 years long, to see if you like the army, and you also get a civilian education on the side, so if you dont like it, you havent wasted an entire year but can continue on with the civilian education.
I decided that 8 hours a week of physical training AND Judo was a bit much.
But now i'm doing another education to become sports teacher, and i've begun practising Judo again
What i really like about Judo, is it's diversity, and the fact that anyone could do it. We usually get a lot of the 'weird kids' as well: children that have lack of confidence, children who suffer from hyperactivity, children who have social problems etc. It's a great sport for them.
Basically, its easy to learn but hard to master. It's diversity and moves, countermoves, grapplings and chokes and whatnot, makes it so that it stays enjoyable to watch because its never the same.
One could compare it with a game of Cats and Mice.
(something wich kinda annoys me when watching kickboxing matches for example. It's allways just kicking/hitting people, with the occasional 'critical hit'.
Anyways, time for some pictures and a very, very awesome video on youtube
