hi, i've never done Karate or any kind of martial arts before but I want to start. I'm 31 years old. I hope this isn't too late to start. I also wear glasses so hope this wont cause a problem?? I have read theres many different styles which use varying types or forms of "kata" The school closest to me teaches Wado Ryu and they offer private lessons which is what I'd like. Can anyone tell me what i'm likely to expect on a first lessons? i'm not in the best of shape so am considering getting a bit fitter before I start. and also do private lessons still allow me to progress up i.e. go from white belt to red,yellow etc? how is this grading done and who decides when the student is ready? thanks
