Judo Time!

Recently I spent a fun-filled weekend amid the beautiful alps in a ferien town in Fiesch with my Judo Club, Judo Kwai Oensingen (judokwaioensingen.ch).

In all, there were twenty people who came! The more the merrier :) And that was definitely true. Even the morning jogs at 6:30 seem almost fun because of the friends who are around, though I put an emphasis on ALMOST. We all would much rather have preferred sleeping in till breakfast which was at 7:30.

We did much judo throughout the weekend. Once the Judo club who usually met there joined in with our training. It was cozy to say the least, us all being squished in their not-so-large dojo (judo training room).
We were taught moves from the black belt, which is the highest level of judo. I admit most of us did not look as professional as that picture.

We were all exhausted by the end!!!

Of course we did manage to make time for games. The one guy plays Unihockey and taught us how to play.

When the weekend was over everyone slept in the small bus all the way back to Oensingen where we were picked up by family members. The very next day after the weekend, was a normal Judo training again for everyone except me. I did not take part in the training, instead I did my test for the next level belt, the orange belt, and passed! It may not seem like that high of a level to those who know Judo, but for me, it feels good to not be the lowest level anymore :) Besides, my orange belt coordinates very well with my white outfit.
