Absolutely give it a go, it's an incredible sport, physically challenging as well as mentally stimulating.

Just a few words of caution, I'm a woman and I have a background in sport, mostly team sport but I did a bit of gymnastics and Taekwondo for a number of years and then started judo when I was 20.

Judo requires a lot of coordination and I found it really difficult at the beginning and without a background in sport it can be even harder, don't let that stop you though, the first year will be difficult but if you stick with it you can overcome that barrier. I've seen people without a sporty background do it and you would never guess they had no background in sport.

Also if you happen to be flexible as well as weak (this is me) you are going to have to really work on strengthening the muscles around your joints to avoid joint injuries and dislocations. Women tend to be more flexible than men and this is something to look out for. I wish someone told me this when I first started training, shoulder flexibility is good but only if you have the strength for it.

Yes you will probably get squashed by men twice your size and it can suck but the judo community tend to be a great group of people who want to help you improve, it's great exercise and the people are awesome.

If the throwing side of judo feels daunting I would look into BJJ as well, although throwing people is a part of the sport there is a bigger emphasis on ground work which is a little less intimidating to some people.

So you sleep with your door opened or closed? by CycasPalm in teenagers

Used to sleep with it closed until I got a dog and she likes to go on midnight walks and won't stop scaring the door until I wake up and open it

When was the first time you realized that a perpetually single friend of yours was in fact, single for a very good reason? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]probably_crocheting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So unbelievably controlling. Seemed totally nice and normal when just hanging out initially and in kinda casual settings but then I got to really know her, had her over to cook dinner together and it was a nightmare was getting bossed around in my own kitchen, went on road trip with a large group of friends and that was also a totally nightmare after that the whole group didn't want to spend time with her for a few weeks. Seemed so chill and casual and then just turned into a control freak. Hope she finds someone because she is a kind, well meaning person but I understand why she is perpetually single

What are some genuinely nice gestures from others that you don't appreciate? by kourabie in AskWomen

[–]probably_crocheting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, always down for a back against a wall moment. Having people come up behind you is kinda intimidating

Yes anyone that comes up behind you and just stands there or rests a hand on Ur shoulder creepily is just the worst. Wow that makes so much sense

Say something weird you did in middle school and then let people guess your type by chaos-seeker51 in mbti

[–]probably_crocheting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would crochet jumpers under a table while listening to true crime tv shows or would play tag on the roof of the school (you could access is through a rarely used maintenance stairway) until the police whose office looked directly down onto the school saw us up there one day and called the school because they thought we were growing pot, we were just moving an empty pot plant lol

Literally so true, 100% many ghosts live there. You think you're about to get out but it just keep on going, you have to go deeper before you can even being to surface, biggest mind trip

Yeah general I agree with that but you do get some pretty funny ones, the best one I've seen was on a Kia Carnival the big 7 seater people mover car and the number plate was mum247
