So here I am, 43 years of age, and I am deciding to take up Judo. Call it a mid-life crisis if you must, but I continue to argue that it is for the sake of some father/daughter bonding. So, my daughter and I headed down to Roseberry's Sho-Rei-Shobu Kan martial arts center to take the journey together.
We started on October 2nd and were a bit confused, lost and embarrassed. What language are they speaking...uh...maybe I am not smart enough to do this. Several weeks later I realized it must be Japanese. Okay, of course I am not quite that dumb, but I certainly felt like it.
I can now say that four weeks later, my daughter and I have learned a lot. But more importantly, we are bonding! This blog thus begins our journey. There is no telling if either of us will ever get a black belt, but that is not the important thing. The important thing is that we are on a journey together.
