Not that I’ve ever studied Judo.. but thought these were pretty funny… (ok, the first ones are a little weak.. but it gets better)

YOU MIGHT BE A JUDO PLAYER IF...

1. You think sweating builds character.

2. You don t mind having more bruises than medals.

3. You think nothing worth while comes easily....and you re ok with that.

4. You think teamwork means actually helping each other.

5. You think mixing it up is a way to have a good time.

6. You miss wrestling season.

7. You can get slammed on your back.....and laugh.

8. You think safety is as important as learning to apply pain.

9. You think learning to fall helps you learn to throw people.

10. You want to wrestle competitively......but you re a girl.

11. You think traveling to tournaments is a vacation .

12. You want to interrupt your summer for the Hoosier State Games.....and win.

13. You can get thrown by a smaller player......and you don t mind.

14. You think your family includes people that you re not even related to.

15. You think the slogan No pain, no gain hasn t been overused yet.

16. You spend more time planning for a healthy diet then you do for a date.....

17. ......because your date is practicing too.

18. You actually need calories!!

19. You can pivot on one bent leg while sweeping with the other...but you can t dance.

20. Your wedding day is the same day as the Nationals.....so you re late to one event.

21. You remember your wedding anniversary as the day after the big tournament .

22. Your honeymoon was a trip to the Midwest Open in Joliet, Ill.

23. You think your spouse understands . (yeah, right!!)

24. You think "mutual welfare and benefit" means taking turns strangling each other to the point of unconsciousnes.

25. During intimate relations with the opposite sex, you find yourself thinking, "Wow, he/she's wide-open for an armbar."

26. You just don't feel right unless your body feels like a six-ounce steak after a hard session with the tenderizer.

27. Your list of desirable qualities in the opposite sex includes: "attractively placed gi burns on the face and neck," "never submits until arm is ready to break," and "wicked drop seoi-nage."

28. People refuse to hug you, shake your hand, etc., because you never let go until they tap out or someone yells "Matte!"
29. your girlfriend wakes you up because you were strangling her in your sleep

30. a shirtless attacker becomes your worst nightmare

31. you instinctively bridge and roll whenever you wake up from a nightmare

32. you're teaching your kid to ride a bike and start off with ukemi drills

33. you see someone taking a bad fall off his bike, and the first word that pops into your head is "ippon!"

34. The Missionary Position is just another word for "Open Guard".

35. you keep having this dream about your mother-in-law reversing your best choke

36. you say "you should see this new technique I learned" and all of a sudden you're the only one in the room.

37. your girlfriend thinks you're a freak because you have calluses on the back of your fingers from doing judo grips.

38. you secretly wish that some untrained, unarmed, and unaccompanied robber would come and attempt to rob you.

39. You lie down and start to put your hands behind your head, but stop because you have the uncomfortable feeling someone is going to ude-garami you if you do that.


40. When you think beeing choked to unconsciousness once a week is pretty normal

Another way:

This is what Tai Kwon Do looks like to you:

(Note: All respect to the other arts. Spin-kicks are just foreign to me.)

This link seems to have gone sour, or something. It's a guy doing a high spin-kick, and totally wiping out.
