3. Why I love Cheering ~ I absolutely adore cheerleading! I cheered a whole lot when I was younger, and loved every minute of it. I think I love it so much because I can express my girly side, which I absolutely love! It's so much fun doing different cheers, and having fun having a ton of spirit!
4. Brief Description ~ Cheerleading is pretty much, all about having a bunch of spirit, and happiness. There is usually a group of girls, (or sometimes, there can be boys that cheer, but usually it's girls) and a coach. The coach comes up with the moves, and teaches the group of girls (the group of girls can be of any amount of girls) the cheers. Then, they practice those cheers at their practices, and then they do those cheers at special occasions, like football games, basketball, or cheer competitions/ tournaments.
5. Rules of Cheerleading ~ In cheerleading there aren't really rules, you just need to have a lot of fun energy while doing your cheers, or else people/ judges (if in a cheering tournament) they will be bored by your cheers. So you want to make sure that you have a lot of energy! Also, make sure you have your cheers down. It is very helpful to practice them at your house and try to go to every single practice you have with your team, and coach.
6. Safety ~ Cheerleading isn't really a “safe” sport because you are basically doing a bunch of stunts and girls are thrown up in the air, but they are caught by the back up cheerleaders. The back up cheerleaders are in charge of keeping the flyer (the cheerleader thrown up in the air) safe when she comes down. They make sure she gets up in the air and down from the air in total safety. So to be safe in cheerleading, you have to have very strong big girls to be back up, and keep those fliers safe!
7. Skill Related Components ~ Some skill related components in cheerleading are jumping, handsprings, motions, stunting/ tumbling, cartwheels, and a lot of balance.
17. What is Judo? Judo, the “gentle way” is a Martial Art from Japan. Judo consists of throwing, pinning, choking, and armlocks. The main source to win is to throw the person straight on their back. In a Judo tournament the judges say “ippon” which means you win by a perfect throw or pin. There are 2 competitors in each match that fight for Ippon or points. There are also 3 judges that gives you points and penalties during the fight. Judo was invented by Jigoro Kano. Kano got the idea from Jiu Jitsu but refined the techniques and rules that make up Judo. It’s purpose was made to defeat bigger and stronger opponents by using techniques to get the other person off balance. Back then, Samurai fought to the death. Today it is an Olympic sport that is widely known throughout the world. Judo is extremely popular in European and Latin American countries, but sadly only mildly popular in the United States
