David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time he's diving into the world of martial arts, specifically judo. Boyle shares his experience of enrolling his son in a local judo class, only to find it wasn't quite what he expected. His son, already proficient in jiu-jitsu, was looking to enhance his takedown skills, but the judo class turned out to be more about games and fun than serious training.
Boyle's humorous yet frustrated take on the situation is both entertaining and relatable for any parent who's ever felt like their child's activities aren't quite hitting the mark. He describes the setting—a church in a hipster neighbourhood—and his scepticism about the effectiveness of the training. Despite the initial disappointment, Boyle's son manages to pick up some techniques quickly, although the overall experience leaves Boyle questioning the value of the class.
The episode wraps up with Boyle's reflections on the differences between judo and jiu-jitsu, and a few shout-outs to his Patreon supporters. This episode is a blend of comedy, parental frustration, and a bit of martial arts insight, making it a must-listen for anyone who's ever been in Boyle's shoes.
