Thus ...

... Francisco got his 2nd Dan in Judo.

With relative ease. Fun was had although the whole show reeked off mass production. What an awful lot of judo people there are in North Holland. And I suspect that every last motherfucking one of 'em was in Beverwijk, Sunday. Soit.

He did well, our boy, did. He made two mistakes but those were mostly due to the lack of mat size in relation to his floorcraft, i.e. he threw his partner from the mat which ratlledhim so that he sort of made a tiny error in his kata.

But he passed in the end and that was all that really mattered. There was much rejoycing.
