Judo Practice

Good morning, today I'd like to talk about my vivid memory of my Judo practices. Actually I belonged to Judo Club when I was in the first grade of Seikei High School in Tokyo.
Why did I take up Judo?
Kazuo, my best friend in Seikei Elemnetary School and the very son of a porno writer, Tamura Taizo, took me to the dojo in Nishi-Ogikubo. I saw Judo lessons for the first time. It must be a hard training. But it seemed to me that it was a good opportunity to learn martial arts("Bushido"). According to Tamura-kun, his father recommended his son should discipline his spirits and his body, because Tamura-kun was not big into studying. That's why he started practicing Judo in junior high school.
In the Judo Club I always practiced Judo with a big fighter, Yamazaki-kun. He was 180 cm tall and weighed 90 KG. He threw me out to the ground so hard that I was out of breath for a moment.
In the meantime Tamura-kun dropped out of Seikei School and joined Nichidai- High School.
Once there was a school match betweeen the two schools, I mean Nichidai and Seikei.
I wore a whitel belt but I am very proud that I defeated my opponent who was a brown belt. During the game there was an accident. One of my classmates, Nakajima-kun, broke his collar bone. The school match was immediately cancenlled and changed into practices.
I chickened out. All I cared about was that I wouldn't get hurt like Nakajima-kun.
Back to the Judo Club, by mistake I wore "Senpai's"(senior student's) loose white clothes without briefs. A couple of days later my groin was itchy. I suffered from a jock itch. I saw my groin reddened and I felt a burning pain. I thought I was never able to concentrate on preparing for the university entrance examination, as long as I practiced Judo. So, I left the Club. A couple of months later I was surprised to read an article in Tokyo Newpaper. Tamura-kun caught a robber ulitilizing his Judo technique. Soon I bumped into him at Kichijoji Station. I praised his for that. He just shrugged his shoulders.
Well, the last time I saw him was at a bowling center in Sakai-shi. He became a professional bowler. He said he was also responsible for the management of his father's property in Kabuki-cho, Shinjuku.
He was a "Senmu"(executive director). I said to Tamura-kun, "Wow! It's great that you're the owner of the buildings. He chuckled and said , "I am doing nothing or in Japanese "Nanimo-Senmu."
