bonj said:yes I did cancel it. And not meaning to be glib, but if you will do sport where the main objective is to injure, chances areyou're going to get injured...not as bad as boxingthough i suppose. Try squash
LOL! Judo does not aim to injure! (apart from arm lock and strangles, but your daft if you don't submit!)
I have been a judo player for 26 years and in that time, despite lots of competitions (up to national and a flirt with international) I have not broken one bone (toes don't count!). Plenty of knocks, bruises and the occasional twist, but my knee was my first major injury in all of that time.
I will be encouraging my kids to take it up (but certainly not forcing them). It's great for fitness for disciplining the mind and body and has a brilliant social life associated with it. Your never too late to take it up, we often have a chap in his late 70's who comes on the mat!
