Judo season is coming up and I was wondering if I should join. I'm really interested and very determined to join it but my parents disagree to whether or not I should join. My mom really wants me to join because she wants me to learn self-defense and her co-worker's daughter is in it. But then, my dad doesn't really want me to join because the we have practice three times a week and I don't think he wants to drive back to my school just to pick me up (we live far away). Also, I severly injured my left knee two years ago. I tore the ACL cord in my left leg and it's currently been rather sensitive lately. So do you think I should join? I really need to decide right now because practice starts next week. HELP PLEASE! > <

Can Mum take yoou? tell dad not to be a slacker. I say go for it any way any how you'll love it. They may just enjoy you out of the house for a few hours too. You got to do what you love.
