I've never seen any racism in my experiences. With such a diverse range of colour and culture in the MA, there is no place for any form of prejudice.

Marmite!

The worst has to be kicking someone's elbow with a mawashigeri (sp?). I couldn't get my shoe on after training!

My name is Chris, I wanted to make it sound more Japenese. I've changed it by d-poll now

What? No soul/r&b section?? I like Erykah Badu, Maxwell, R.Kelly, Musiq, Marvin Gaye.........

I was 6 when I began training. This was a good age to start in my opinion as it is said, children learn at a faster rate. However, discipline can be a problem.

I was too young to appreciate the "art" side of shotokan, as I was 6 when I starting training. My friend started so I went along and have trained non-stop for 13 years. Learning to protect myself was the option I chose on the vote as I think this was my earliest motivation

Most MA may contain the elements that you're looking for. Mental control is very much personal in my opinion. Have you studied anything at all before?

I've never had to punch anyone as hard and fast as I could! But I had a bag in my bedroom at home and regularly hit that hard when I'm there!

It's a great acheivement...being a member of the KUGB, I've witnessed his hard work at first hand.
