Judo is called the gentle way. If you have a bad arm you should look to working around it, or to build it up. Sometimes a seemingly defective part can be used to strengthen the whole. I have met blind people and deaf people doing judo . They would look at a bad arm as less of a handicap then losing ones sight or hearing. In Judo you could learn to work around a bad side by working the good side or it could also build it up. Treat the bad arm as you would a long term injury, just work around it !

Thanks for that. I'm working on staff fighting right now. or maybe it's long sword... anyways, I'm working around my left arm. it's not really a physical disability. It's just that I'm right handed and I never use my left.

I'm a little new to this forum, but i've been looking around and have been, for quite some time, looking for a new area of study.

As a child, I trained up till my first dan in World Tang Soo Do Assoc. and stopped some odd 8 years ago. I did this as a request from my father to develop my body (i was a sickly child), but now that i'm in college, there's so many other arts besides TSD, offered just at my school alone, and I don't know how to begin searching. You guys mentioned something about posture, I have a very light build at 5'8" . I'm currently in Taiko, which isn't a martial art, but it's a very good workout. Since i've learned TSD to some extent, I was thinking of going into throwing techniques, since I don't necessarily want to resolve all my conflicts with an opposing show of force.
