A Little Project...

For those of you who do not know me, apart from reading another one of my favourite hobbies is Judo. I am probably not the typical "judoka" but I really love the sport and have made some great friends at my university's club.

But why am I telling you this?

For one of my modules on my course I had to make a documentary under the theme of Achievement. So, I decided to do it on the black belts at my club. After a lot of blood, sweat and tears (literally) it is finally finished and I have decided to share it with everyone as, even though it is not perfect and not really related to publishing, I am really, really, really proud of it and learnt a lot from making it.

Below is the finished documentary. I hope you like it but if you do not; just remember I have a yellow belt!!
