that's cool. never studied judo. always wanted to. i started isshinryu karate in 1980. switched to taekwon do and hapkido when i was in college in the mid 80's and then switched back to isshinryu in 99. still doing it but the injuries are wearing me down. i've had a few broke bones, two knee surgeries and looking at shoulder surgery from the grappling.
i'm 46 and it's getting harder to heal up.

Field Hand, actually it was Jukado, an American synthesis created by Dr. Bruce Tegner after years of studying in Japan. It was a combination of judo, yawara, savate, karate, jiu-jitsu, and aikido, though most of it was karate and judo. I'm going on 60 and had to give it up many years ago when my sensei moved away. Jukado instructors were not easily found them, probably still aren't.

It was purely a defensive art, not a sport karate, though my sensei was not beyond having his students compete. But the emphasis was totally on self-defense situations and belts did not come easily, nor were there a slug of different colors. White, blue, brown, black. I would imagine it is still the same.

Yes, there are schools scattered around the country. Mostly on the west coast, I think. I know there is one in Portland. I did a search a few months ago and located my former sensei. He had been an airborne corpsman during Nam and later trained SEALS.
