How to Get Fit for Surfing

An article looking at the physical demands a surfer’s body faces and the types of exercises you can use to condition yourself for the waves

I own and run a surf travel company on Australia’s Gold Coast. My business basically pulls together all the services offered on the Gold Coast that a travelling surfer needs. We then go the extra step of renting our surfboards to our clients, for the duration of their holiday. The idea is simple, we want to ensure our clients have the surfing holiday of their life, without the hassle of sorting out the logistics when they arrive.

Judo: The Ancient Combat Sport Gains Universal Acceptance And Support

An article describing the sport of judo

Judo is a term that refers to the modern version of the Japanese martial art and combat sport. The name, which means “gentle way”, evolved in late nineteenth century Japan, and martial arts experts agree that it’s most prominent feature lies primarily on its competitive element, and its objectives or main goals are to throw your opponent to the ground, immobilize him/her with a clutching or grappling maneuver, and/or pressing an opponent into submission by employing a choke or locking an elbow. The player’s hand and feet move by striking or thrusting an opponent, along with other weapons; however these are only done in a pre-arranged manner, and are disallowed in official judo competitions or free practice, randori.
