A new business. With bonus material and bloopers and all. And you're right, I changed the title. Bit too presumptious. But if you want to find out more, got to learn Dutch first. Coz I tried in English, i really did, and it's just too much struggle. And hey i am lot smarter and wittier in my own language. So what i'll do; i'll just give it a go and juice it up with some Dutch whenever i am stuck. K?

Judo

Now many of you know that M. and T. are both judo-ing.

Thing is the world champion judo, Dennis van der Geest, is Dutch.
He's also doing a commercial on television, so you can't help seeing him a lot.

Now Dennis, is T.'s and M.'s big example.

I don't know how it started but since some weeks, especially T. is eating like a madman, coz he wants to be as big as Dennis vd G.
Immediately after dinner he rushes to the weighing scale, only to discover he is 21 (or sometimes 22) kilo.

A few days ago i emailed Dennis and this is (sorry for the Dutch, but I'll translate later) what I had in the mail today:

Beste Timo en Morten,

Toen ik 5 was woog ik nog geen twintig kilo. Ik ben pas vanaf mijn 20e gaan trainen om zwaarder te worden. Zwaarder worden doe je door gezond en goed te trainen en darvoor kun je het best naar je judotrainer luisteren. Jullie moeder weet het best wat je moet eten, mijn moeder heeft er ook voor gezorgd dat ik gezond en zwaar ben geworden en dat is niet door veel maar verstandig te eten. Drie bordjes leegeten is niet gezond voor jullie en hebben jullie niet nodig op dit moment. Pas vanaf ongeveer je 18e gaat dat pas belangrijk worden maar zelfs dan is het beter drie bordjes over de hele dag te eten dan in een keer. Komen jullie ook naar de clinic die ik geef op 3 juni in Haarlem? (kijk even op http://www.kika.nl/) dan kan ik een handtekening op je pak zetten. Het belangrijkste is dat jullie veel plezier in het judoën hebben en vel ervaring opdoen. Groot en sterk worden komt later.

Groetjes,

Dennis van der Geest

In general it says that they should listen to their mother (thank you Dennis) and simply eat normal and healthy and practise a lot. Getting heavier and stronger and thus eating more or different is only important after you turned 18 and Dennis started to gain weight after he was 20.

Isn't that cute?!

Ofcourse i registered them for the clinic, so June 3 they can meet their idol!

Thats cool! I copied and pasted his note in this free online translator and understood most of it. Sometimes it works good and other times not as well. Here is the link in case anyone is interested.
