A time with brothers you grow up. And to write about your Judo lessons was a wonderful idea. I believe when you grow up with siblings, you share a gift that connects you to each other's soul. Great poem.

It seems your parents knew that instilling confidence and courage in one so young was important. I do hope you enjoyed your judo lessons and benefited from them.

This seems like you don't want to rely on your brothers any more for protection. It seems with each to belt you get more self assurance.

The rhythm is good in this free verse poem with some rhyming.

The second stanza seems off a little. Maybe the last few lines could be

The ability believe in yourself
And build on what you have learnt
In practicing the art of Judo

Your depiction of the childhood memory of being sent to judo with your brothers is good. I felt that the flow of the poem could have been enhanced by a more structured scheme. I liked the idea of the progression to different colors being a symbol of achieving what you believe; a good life lesson.

You are making a good effort to write a rhyming poem about judo lessons, but have set yourself a hard task. Some of your line endings rhyme, but not all of them, and you need a certain rhythm as well and some of your words and lines seem to be out of sync. Keep working though.

The writer is very descriptive in this piece. The writer allows the reader to paint a picture of what's going on in this story. This piece reminds me of taking my daughter to taekwondo lessons as she was too lazy to go through with. Wasted my money (smile). Thank you for sharing this.
