DIABLO Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 don't worry about what kind of shape your in to start! That's what the first few belts are for...... working on flexability and getting into shape. Once you get into it you will love it keep your hands up!!

thaiboxerken Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 The only person holding you back is yourself. Did I say that already? Anyway, limits are usually given to people from the inside. You can do whatever you want, you just have to go out and do it.

Angus Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Yeah, a lot of people are afraid to go out and do stuff because they don't want to be seen as inferior to anyone or something. If i had thought that way a year ago then i'd still be a blob! Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uaskfajardo Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 It is never too late to start karate again.I practiced karate when I was 14. After three years I left the practices. At the age of 26 I start to develope a condition that impulse me to go to the doctor. He told me that I need to practice a sport. I decided to start karte again. After six years of practice I became a black belt and now I'm Shotokan Karate Instructor. Do not let that anybody decide by yourself. Just do that your heart is telling you. One of the Dojo Kun or Karate Philosophy means is " Be effort" So keep on the track and take the better decission for you.

shotochem Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 You are not too old and not to out of shape. Just start off easy then work yourself up to the rest. I was in terrible shape when I started and a lot older. Dont compare yourself to others just do the best you can do and improve over yourself. Good Luck and have FUN!!! :up: Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
