When I was a 15 year old beginner I threw a black belt in my first fight. I was 86kg and 5 feet and 8 inches tall. He was 21 and 6 feet tall and 63kg. Yahooooo what a fight! What a victory.

I believe having a great relationship with your coach does give you the edge in our sport judo. The best motivation for me during my stay as a competitive university athlete is my COACH and teammates.

Comment on Coping with Injuries as a Judo Athlete. by George

I am 40 years old and have just started training in Judo 5 months ago part-time. I have to agree with the author. Every time I return home from Judo training, I returned with bruises on my arms and torso from grappling and falling. When I take the fall – with my beginner’s technique, the sudden jerky of my head also does strain my neck muscles from time to time whenever I have not done sufficient warm-up exercises to loosen up the muscle groups around my neck and shoulder. I have also observed many others who are above me in rank (pretty much everyone there) have twisted toes or sprained toes. I had bleeding toe last time I was there. During one session, my left ear got compressed during a grappling exercise with another white-belt student. Since then I could not sleep on my left side. So, to make the long story short, I speculate the 117 injuries per 1000 people-year figure include only the more serious types that require interruption of training. If it were to include bruises and minor ones, I would not be surprised that it would have been in the 300’s range. Given that, sources of my perceptual bias may include my ineptness in Judo and relatively advanced age compared with average beginners. In my dojo, people who usually begin training in their teens or younger. By the time they reach my age, they would have become very skilled Judokas, unlike myself.
