No unfortunately I have not been to Japan... yet. But if all gods are
willing and my internet related work goes as it should, I will go there one
day. Hopefully being able to make my self a lot better understood in
Japanese too. LOL
I took 10 weeks with a private teacher, who was born in Kyoto, but that was
11 years ago.
I started studying by my self just recently again, and I am using both
tapes, CD's and regular Kana guides to get back in the game.
I am even writing my own beginners Kana tutorial now to kick off my
learning a bit more forcefully.

I agree, it is really important, and not only for children, but people of
all ages to stay both mentally fit and maintain a healthy balance in
general.
Judo was actually a very large turning point for me as a kid as I was very
overweight. I lost all that over a summer and got in excellent shape.
Unfortunately, by my third graduation date in Judo I had the missfortune of
meeting the mat a bit to fast and it didnt help having a 190 lbs (85kg) guy
fall on top of me.
A brooken collar bone and 22 weeks of healing and waiting lead me asrtay
into many different sports.
Allthough I must say, judo was the main trigger to a healthier me.
