shotochem Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 I am glad I have found such a civilized forum!!! I am 33 and have been training in Shotokan Karate for 1 1/2-2yrs. I started out with my son. He quit. I stayed. I guess Im geting senile in my old age...pain is joy!!!! Pains!!! Strains!!! Sprains!!! Broken bones!!! I love it!!!! Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Thanks for the intro shotochem! You're gonna feel right at home here ... there are quite a few of us here that feel as you do regarding their training. Actually I too started out with my son just about 10 years ago ... same thing - he quit and I stayed! Old age??? You're still young hun! WAIT!!! talk about pains, strains, etc...... You've only just begun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
