Outstanding Judo Throws and Moves!
Rae gained top marks in English, Spanish, mathematics, history and modern studies, strengthening her chances of making a career in law – but she is not planning to quit judo just yet.

“The next Commonwealth Games in 2018 is also out as Australia aren’t doing judo, so if anything I am looking towards the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
“I am not sure, though, whether I will be still doing judo then as there is more money in law.
“I am not sure yet that I want to do law but if I could go to Edinburgh University that would be great as I do a lot of my judo training in the city.”

Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
