Ex.
I used to really enjoy it, and in fact there is a club not too far from my home base. However it is in the inner city and I am worried about whaat types of "tough guy" might hang out there, although the instructor is multiple danned and says that there are even judoka with Downs Syndrome participating.
I don't go along because have gained weight and lost stamina due to irreversible health reasons. Mind you, a thread like this is tempting.
Alongside the training and randori, I used to appreciate the "body sense" that it gave me after the training was over. I used to feel neat and compact, balanced and slightly roughed up. I enjoyed the sensation.
I made a dummy out of a stuffed old coat to practice groundwork, locks and escapes on too. Good tip, it really improved my game!
