Note to recorder:

"Natural speed please."

I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I weigh about 76 kilograms.

Recently, I was practicing judo.
Judo is a martial art that was made in Japan.
Judo is also one of the favorite sports of Vladimir Putin, Russia's prime minister.
This amazing and elegant martial art, judo, was what I was practicing.
Judo improves the mind and body.("mind and body" = "brain and flesh", in a "metaphorical" way.)
For example, although I used to fight all the time when I was younger, when I took up judo, I started protecting people instead.("Conversely" never goes at the end of a sentence. Also, it is a little formal here.

A: She's a baker. Conversely, she's also a scientist.
B: Though James is running for president, conversely, he's also running for mayor.

Conversely always goes between the "two complete ideas". It is a "joining word.")
Furthermore, judo allows you to protect yourself if you are ever in grave danger.
When you consider all of that, I think it stands to reason that judo is a wonderful martial art.
