Mom learned judo at university, and was supposedly very good at it.  She says she was a black belt, although that's pretty meaningless.  Imbued with Heavy Duty Ukrainian Farm Girl size and strength, mom was very formidable according to legend. As for me, I competed for quite a while, and quite successfully.  If I had continued to compete, who knows how far I might have gotten.  The word "harmony" really never appeared in mom's vocabulary, and judo as practiced in my family is pretty **** intense. Lessons I learned tended to focus on ideas like "if you trip somebody in this position, you land with their full body weight, and yours, on their shoulder. It'll **** 'em up."

Sensei Greg

For some reason, that makes me think of "Sensei Rex" from Napoleon Dynamite.  I can't shake it.
