The Judo By Amaury

My favorite hobby: the Judo

 The judo (meaning « gentle way ») is a martial        art, a combat sport. It was created in Japan by Jigoro Kano. Jigoro Kano was born on the 28 October 1860 and died on the 4 May 1938. The judo is practiced in a dojo. The target in the judo is either to throw his opponent or to immobilize him on the tatami, we can also do key arms and restrictors to win the match.

 Jigoro Kano

All judokas must follow a moral code make up seven essential values: politeness, courage, self-control, friendship, modesty, honor and sincerity.

In the judo, we have many ranks; the belts indicate the ranks of the judoka. The order of these belts are: white, white-yellow, yellow, yellow-orange, orange, orange-green, green, green-blue, blue, brown, black, red-white, red and the last, the white wide belt an honorific rank for Jigoro Kano.

The belts order

In a judo match, we can to have different advantages: “yuco” when the opponent falls to the ground on the side, the belly towards the ground; “wasa-ari” when the opponent falls on the side the back towards the ground and the “ippon” when the opponent falls to the ground on the back with speed and force.

The France is the second country where the judo is the most practiced. This is my favorite hobby and I am crazy about it.

Cars

Introduction

More and more people want to buy cars because they are great pieces of modern technology.

 

How many types of car are there?

There are an enormous amount of cars that you can buy.  You can buy expensive cars, that cost about $100 000 and their quality is very impressive.  Expensive cars have a number of advantages; they look attractive, are very fast and can last a long time.  If you don’t have $100 000 you can also buy cars at reasonable price; they will not as fast or last as long but they work very well.  There are more than 100 different car manufacturers.  For example, Porsche is a very expensive car and costs about $100 000.  Kia is a reasonable priced brand, a KIA costs about $20 000. You can also buy car at a lower price, they are not fast and don’t last very long but they are very cheep. As you can see there are many types of cars.

Problems with cars

You know that cars use gas.  The problem is that gas pollutes the planet and there is less and less of it available.  To stop the pollution, some car manufacturers have created electric cars that do not use gas. Gas prices are also getting higher and higher so people have to spend more money to buy gas. To try to limit the increase of gas prices the government sometimes changes taxes on gas to lower the prices.

Why are cars so expensive?

Cars are expensive for multiple reasons.  The parts of a car are very expensive and they also have to be put together. To put the pieces together car manufacturers need robots that are very expensive to buy and maintain.  Cars are also expensive because car sellers sell their cars at the highest price that they can.

Conclusion

Cars are very useful, they can travel very fast to different places but they have different inconveniences.  They are expensive to buy and use gas that pollutes the planet. People are doing their best to lower gas prices and to pollute less.

Michael escrime

Hello, I'm Michael. I was speak of my passion.

The fencing is a fight art in wich man use a sabre or a fleuret.To win a point at the fencing, you've to touch the oppenent before he do and counter him. For that, we can too make him fallen in the empty. After each blow with has been parried or wich is fallen in the empty, the second player has the priority for attack. The fencing is a strategy sport too because we must take the adversair by surprise by attacking always in same place and suddently attacking him on the other side. We can do a ruse. We have to analyse the technical of the opponent, who can attack as soon as begins.

Jamshid : Football

Hello !

I'll tell you about my passion that's football.

I like much this collective sport. This sport and strategic, but also very athletic.

It is a sport that is practiced much but it is also very watched on TV.

My favorite soccer player is Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Antos Aveiro, he is considered one of the best player in the world. He was elected best player in the world in 2008 and continues to evolve from. Cristiano Ronaldo made me want to practice this sport, watching him play on the ground that this passion for football was born in me.
