judo club

in january, i took pictures at the ore-ida judo club and i got them back and delivered this week. i enjoy taking pictures. here are a couple of my favorites: the family hasn't had photos taken in the last five years and they were all very pleased with their picture. then there is the group. i have not taken so many pictures of a group and still ended up with so many with their eyes closed. oh well, this is the best shot of them.

judo is an interesting sport, i don't understand it very well, but from what i can tell, it is a form of japanese wrestling and throwing. you try to throw your partner and then get them into one of several pins. all this time you are wearing a gi (pronounced gee) it looks like a bathrobe and jamma pants. this is their official uniform and it is interesting to see all of them practicing. This is the 6th largest judo club in america.
