I watch a lot of Bruce Lee/Chuck Norris/Steven Seagal moves...I can pretty much kick anybody's @ss because I've created a new form of martial arts that combines all 3 of their styles. I haven't come up with a name for it yet, nor have I tested it out on anyone other than my 5 yr old son. I must admit though, he doesn't have a chance against me!

When I was younger, I did "Three Family" style for a couple of years.

Judo (Gentleman's way) is fun and very informative! But it takes a lot of practice and a good school. It is also GREAT for self defense, but not as good as a .45, .44, 9mm, etc.
A traditional school is better than typical American schools and these are v-e-r-y hard to find. Then, when it comes to competition, you need to decide whether you want to go USJA or USJF. (U.S. Judo Assn. or U.S. Judo Federation, I went with USJA.)
I studied under:
Tony Raven
Tony Ebert
Ann Stacey

Wart -- Check out Judo I think you'll find it interesting!
Just remember, in Judo, choking an opponet out is one way to win a match! I defeated Paul Charvet with a choke hold, less than 5 seconds after applying the choke w/foot sweep, he was out! (His throat hurt for several days and Sensei got me for losing my temper! ) Specific hold used: Harai Tsuri Komi Ashi applying Sode guruma jime at the same time.
Harder
BTW, favorite throw was Harai Goshi

Thanks harder 
Also, I'm not that flexible...I guess with stretches and exercise I could becom emore flexible (??)...do you have to be super flexbile gymnist guy to do Judo? I'm not talking about championship fighting....but getting a real good feel for it so it could be implemented in a rough situation
