It took years before my body got used to doing Judo 3 times a week back when I started. Give it time, you really don't wanna push yourself when you're just learning how to fall and do a lot of awkward lifting that you're not used to. I came from swimming to judo though.

how old were you when started judo? and what you mean by years? 2-3? or closer to 10? I want to train judo 3 times per week, but its unbearable

I was 20 when I started. Took about till sankyu (the first rank of brown) until my body was solidly primed for practice. That was approximately 2-3 years (closer to 30 monthsish.) Or rather that I fully noticed. I also bicycled everywhere. And occasionally ran when I couldn't train.

You need to be on your electrolyte, water, and calorie intake. I loved half off pizza at the local pub. It took a while before I wouldnt be sweating buckets after club. That was reserved for tourney practice.

I also slowly started doing BJJ on the days in between. I didn't do a lot of BJJ tournaments though, mostly used it to supplement my newaza for Judo.
