And from another Honda press release:

EDWARDS TAKES JUDO LESSONS

Castrol Honda¹s Colin Edwards joined a host of World Superbike and World Supersport stars for judo lessons at a local school to the Sugo circuit in Japan on Thursday.

The riders visited the Murato-cho Taiikukan school in nearby Miyagiken to meet schoolchildren before being fitted out in traditional judo suits to tackle the sport.

“It was great fun,” said Edwards, who provided an additional demonstration by walking on his hands. “We were there to say hello to the kids and learn a bit about the sport. I’m not sure I’ll be taking up judo full time but I don’t mind having a go at anything.

“I ended up in a bit of a battle with Troy (Bayliss), got him in a lock and it was tempting to give him a kick!”
