Hey. Well although most of here say quitting smoking in age 19 is easy, its very hard for me right now, but i will quit it i know

Sincerely thank you for the heads up guys. This is the second day im not smoking right now and feels pretty bad for my nerves and my body. i will need like a week or two to put myself together from nicotine and then of i go to MA

Thank you for the welcome and of course its like that like you say, so i decided to quit from tommorow. I'll smoke my last one today and then it will be like a new life starting for me.

Thank you for the replies guys. Yes smoking kills and i think that either you should smoke or do sports, these two things dont mix. So i finally decided to quit it from the next week and start by going to gyms and in January of 2010 start going to kyokushin classes when my friend will already have his brown belt black stripe test. I'm not much of a fighter myself but i have to start somewhere so i see that kyokushin would help me develop my confidence and strenght and ofcourse attitude. So i'll be reading this forum everyday aswell because i see lots of valuable information here. Thank you again. ~Hoku

Yes, now i realised it's very bad for my health and i had some lung and heart problems. been smoking for 4 years actually day after day. So now i decided to quit this habit starting from the next week and by starting going to the gym, cause i need to get my stamina and strenght a little bit and to get that nicotine out of my system. So if i want to, lets say have a career as a karate fighter, wouldnt it be late to start aged 19? Im not saying i want to be the best but im really excited about this sport and i want to get started.

Hello sportsmen. First of all i have to say i love everything about Japan and its cultures and i was kind of a fan of karate myself for like 2 years. I'm 19 myself. I have a friend that was learning kaarte for like a long period of time and he has a brown belt now. So yesterday we went to watch a karate tournament and i so much enjoyed it that i actually thought that i want to do this. So i want to ask if i can achieve something if im already 19 years old? The style im looking at right now is Kyokushin. The main problem about me is that i'm a smoker and i can say i dont have stamina at all, but for karate im willing to quit smoking and start my " career " as a kyokushin karate fighter. So if anyone has to add something how others started this great sport im listening carefully. Thank you
