I hate moving and switching styles and dojos. I just wish I could have stayed at the one place and gotten my black belt. Oh well. Maybe next dojo but I'm getting old...

 

Born: 1975

 

Practicing since: 1996

 

Kyokushin: Orange Belt: Date?

 

I think I was 9 or so... 1984? I don't really count my Kyokushin time because I was so young and I did it because my parents suggested it.

 

Shotokan: Blue belt (5th kyu): Aug 1999

 

Started Karate again at age 21 and did Shotokan for 4 years

 

Hapkido: Purple Belt: April 2004

 

Moved and went to a Hapkido place that was a McDojo but I didn't recognize it. I was there for two years and quit in November 2004 when I got injured... again and decided not to go back.

 

New Dojo, New Belt, coming soon.

 

snazzed

4yr Shotokan, 2yr Hapkido, 1mth Chito-Ryu.

The Hapkido place devolved into a McDojo during my stay.

I totally agree with you. I did Tang Soo Do first. Got to blue belt, and moved the week of my brown belt test :bawling: I moved here (NY) and I did a bit of "dojo hopping." LOL

Yes, testing was sped up due to prior experience. That was all fine and dandy, but I would have preferred to go slower. It helps with the digestion of new material.
