Hi, my name is kristin and I found this forum on one of my many martial arts surfing expeditions. By regular profession I am a teacher. However, I took this year off to study the martial arts- kind of like a retirement year taken early while my body is still able to do it! Anyway, I have spent the year practicing, taking many classes, teaching and working in my karate school. I have had a blast and don't really want to return to my regular teaching job in the fall. I study Tang Soo Do on a regular basis and fit in some JKD when possible. I look forward to participating on the forum. [ This Message was edited by: Mamutti on 2002-04-26 22:02 ]
