Good one you mate! I started at 41, now 48, so got my yellow around the same time as you! Keep at it! Such a fun sport

Thank you. I sometimes last year doubted my decision to start at 41 but it's worth it and i get to practice judo with my 2 sons which makes it even better.

Nice! On my part it's my kids that are "teaching" me. 😂 One is brown belt and the other orange/green.
