So when they come to see us, you know, so to see my wife and I, you know, it's like dojo. It's not grandma, granddad, you know, it's a dojo. So dojo, they take their shoes off going into the dojo. You know, so they have respect for where they're at, you know, and I think it has that kind of feeling that like I tried to build my dojo with a feeling of reverence.

It's kind of almost peaceful, you know, so if I'm not religious, I'm not a religious person, but I like going to old churches because when I go into an old church, it doesn't matter, you know, what the religion within the church, but there's a reverence in there.

And respect, you know. Yeah, respect. Look at the respect. You know, we were just talking about it just before we came on air. We were just saying that we very, very seldom do we have a situation where there is animosity involved. other than them fighting. So I'm not saying that they don't fight each other because sometimes it does turn into a brawl.

And at the end, two people bow off and show their respect. And one of the things, so a champion, I see people winning events and they're good judoka or they're excellent. They win world championships, might even win the Olympic Games. But a great champion for me is, is somebody who does the right thing when they lose. So when you see them lose, that's when you see the true them.

And actually, that was one of the biggest things that I had to really cope with. So when I lost that Olympic Games in Moscow and also the one in Los Angeles, the hardest thing is when the microphone's in there and you've got to... be respectful and nice and the hardest thing is to smile. But actually... Some of the great champions, you know, they'll go, well, it's just one match.

You know, I remember we've got one great champion, Agbegnenou. She's a five-time world champion, she's an Olympic champion. She's favourite as well to get this Olympic gold medal, French. What a great champion she is, you know, because she lost one of the matches. I mean, she'd come back and she'd given birth, come back after giving birth.

And everybody was going, well, was she, you know, and then she lost one of the matches on the way through. And she said, well, don't be upset. You know, it's just one match. It's just one contest. You know, next time I'm going to put it right. And she did put it right. And now she's back up there and she won the world title back. So, you know, these are great champions for me.
