Just wanted to say hello and that I'm excited for my journey in Judo. I understand that I'm older and at 37 will need to listen and take care of my body. I found a pretty sweet club about 5 miles from my house that has training M,W,Sat. I plan on attending on Monday and Wednesday until I'm in better shape and more experienced then will attend on Saturday as well. My club is led by a 7th dan and is part of the USJF. Any tips would be appreciated. I'm 6'4" 195lbs if that helps. Cheers guys!

Welcome to MT, and don't feel bad about starting at 37. I recently started doing Kenpo and I am also 37. A lot of people start doing MA later in life. There is no wrong time to start! In fact, one of my sensei's started training when he was in his 40's. I have never taken Judo so I can't really give you any good tips but welcome to the forums!
These suggestions are for the general throwing art and not just for Judo.
Hand stance against wall can be helpful. When you are used to see the world upside down, you will feel more relax when your opponent throws you.
Most of the leg throws can be escaped by these leg skills.
