First off, I would like to say hello to the board members here. I recently started training Karate again after a looooong break. I was doing some Karate research on the net and stumbled across this board. I must say this forum kicks *! My martial arts experience began with Judo but was later taught Aikido and Kenpo by my uncle. Before my move to CA, I've studied Shito-ryu Karate with IKF back in Hawaii for 10 years. Think I'll be cruising this board quite often. Oss, Barry
