I've always wondered if you can make a martial artist. I think not. There are people who will do it like athletics, for awhile, until something more attractive comes along, and there are 'lifers' who just keep doing it forever. I think its an obsessive compulsive type of disorder. Maybe like golf.
Just like there are people who can't get Nan Kune coordination for the life of them, and others that are pure naturals. Some people are just drawn to it.
The kids that are destined to be martial artists can't be stopped, any more than you or I could have been. They'll find their teachers.
Judo is great for kids, I agree.
