Judo has become a central focus in my life. It is only once a week but I think I am in it forever. I am getting better although most of the time I lose to the men it doesn't stop me. I still have hope for a female partner, but I can still do my best with the men and boys. There is nothing like wiggling out of a move that the sensai tries on me on the floor. Or pinning my husband down and having sensai tell him he can't fowl by grabbing my face to get out.

If nothing else it is awesome self defense and a great chance to practice patience and discipline.
