I practiced Judo for a couple of years. Judo is a martial art that combines throws with wrestling. And is referred to as the gentle way, where the goal is to use your opponent’s strength against them. Maximize efficiency and minimize effort. 

Our Sensi Ed Maley drilled discipline, respeciit, and constant improvement into us. 

I earned the rank of brown belt, yet the belt most impactful to me is my white belt. I still display it to remind me always to be a student. 

Paradoxically, the man who has failed and one who is at the peak of success are in the same position. Each must decide what he will do next and choose the course leading him to the future.  Judo Jigoro Kano, founder of Judo
