Hello everyone,
My very first sport was judo. I started studying judo at a sports and recreation centre, which was organised by the YMCA. My sensei was Mr. Johnston. Later I joined Johnston-sensei's dojo. I was also a member of the Ontario Judo Association. I practiced jodo until I had a bad fall and chipped my teeth. I wish I'd continued.
