First things first I love Judo, I love the complex throws and the simplicity and purity of it.

However I'm constantly overthinking hurting someone. I'm not worried about myself but others. I'm still quite new to Judo but worry about damaging someone by doing something wrong.

Is this irrational and does this go away? It's a mental block and stopping me from enjoying randoree.

Any tips to deal with the mental block?

Flow with the go man, flow with the go. Everyone else in same boat and being tight, jigitai, will most likely mean you end up hurt. And that ain't good

Quoting this as it’s so cringe.

Don't think. FEEEEEEEEL! It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory
