| Improving one's character while conditioning the body and mind usually isn't as much fun as Amont Bishop, 7, is having as he dives and rolls over Kara Reddish, 7, and Darrell Jordan, 9. But under the guidance of sensei and fifth-degree black-belt Elvin Fields, Bishop and his classmates know they must balance fun with concentration and discipline in their jujitsu-judo class at the Weaver Street recreation center. Though there is some striking and kicking, the kids are learning the "gentle" martial art, which focuses more on defense and "yielding": letting your opponent's strength act as his weakness. Or to hear Kara say it: "Judo's only used for self-defense" -- not revenge -- "cause you can really hurt someone." Words characteristic of an already wise and gentle person.
