British Judo
Welcome to Talking Sport!
Judo is a martial art that started in Japan.
It first became a sport in the Olympics in 1964.
In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Japan won the most medals followed by China and South Korea.
This week we meet the physiotherapist for the British Judo team, Ben Ashworth.
Join Natalie in this week's video to hear Ben talk about judo and learn the word 'potential' and the phrase 'aim of the game'.

I enjoyed listening to this video about talking sport. The word 'potential' seems to be a good word to use in conversation but most of the time I avoid using it as I am unsure of using it in the right context. Hopefully, I will be able to use it in the future. Here is my first attempt to use the word 'potential'. I have the potential to get into university as I am a hard working person.
