Thanks for those words Bill and congratulations again on your performance. Now you have to win all the tournaments you enter!! No pressure.

Seems that none of the refs there agreed on what constituted an ippon. That was pretty strange.
I felt like I was better than the other guys in my weight division too,but obviously not better enough to keep from getting injured,lol.
Hopefully things will turn out ok andd I'll be able to go on with judo. I'm not sure on the competetion though. I know the school is big on shiai,but I really don't care about points and belts.
Take care Bill.
Thanks to everyone here for the words.
