The conflict, however, is not of man against woman but of judo exponents learning the latest throws and falls. Under the auspices of the Maple Leaf Judo Club, run by Leo Haunsberger, area men, women and children learn the intricacies of the ancient Ja- panese defensive art. Headquarters of the club is located at Courtice while the Harmon Park branch is run in co-operation with the Osh- awa Recreation Commission.

"Nobody gets hurt in Judo," Mr. Haunsberger. "The thing the students are taught is how to fall without causing' injuries". 'This is why we find it so easy to teach Judo to the chil- dren, as they have no difficul- ty in tumbling down and springing up again. My son, Josh, began to pick. up the rudiments of the art when he was three years of age, now, as a four-year-old, he is an old hand at the game." HOME PASTIME Judo is the family sport for the Haunsbergers, as Mrs. Haunsberger also participates. Leo first became interested in the sport in 1964 in his native Austria. The Maple Leaf Club got un- d way 11 years ago and then has gone on to win many honors in judo compet- tions, both national and provin- cial. Last year club mbers took 16 championships of one kind or another, a tribute to the practice and effort they put into the training programs. Maple Leaf teams have held the Junior Team Champion- ships, the Quebec Brown Belt Championships for three years running, and the Eastern Can- ada Brown Belt Champion- ships. udo is a great sport," said Mr. Haunsberger.

"Quite a few of the girls join the club because they find it gives them an ideal way to keep fit, and lose some weight, if need be." Mr. Haunsberger pointed out that Judo is an Olympic sport, one that teaches its exponents to take as well as give. He is aided in his training efforts -by Judo Black Belt holders Dan Dillon, George Dunn, Ray Wilson and Harry Scott. The club has more than 200 juvenile judo students in the club, and more than 100 adults. COLOR BELTS Training in the sport begins at the white belt stage and progresses. through yellow, orange, green, blue and brown belt stages before the stu dent reaches the coveted black belt. Even then there ar numerous degrees of profici- ency within the black belt. The youngsters get gradu- ated training until they are about 16 years old when they move into the intermediate stage. At 18 most are moved into the adult category -- from then on the sky is the limit.
