Been doing Judo for a while now and one thing I’ve realized is this stuff actually works.
People see the throws and think it only works if someone grabs your gi, but balance, timing, pressure, footwork, and knowing how to move another human body translates everywhere. Wrestling, BJJ, MMA, self defense… doesn’t matter.
The coolest part is that a technique doesn’t need to be flashy. Sometimes it’s just one small off-balance and suddenly somebody is flying 😂
Judo also humbles you quick. One day you feel unstoppable, the next day a teenager launches you into orbit. Keeps the ego in check.
Honestly just grateful to keep learning and getting better little by little. 🥋
