I also think that the Japanese tea ceremony is very amazing! I want to go to a proper tea house in Japan some day. Although I don't do judo, I train in submission grappling (キャッチレスリング) which is very similar to judo. We don't have an "ippon" in the same way that judo does, but we do have "一本勝負" where the first pin-fall (3カウント) or submission (タップアウト or ギブアップ) ends a match. "Timing" is very important for those as well! So you train in judo? :)
