Addicted

[Kieran-Lilith]

Addicted...yes, I'm definitely hooked on karate....That just might explain why my favorite topic is karate, why I think about MA all the time, why I keep randomly bowing, why I obsessively practice my kata...yes, you could say I'm addicted. But my grades went up, I'm more fit, reflexes are faster, and, of course, I'm slightly more socialble. This is my 13th month...and I'm up for blue belt! Haha!

Amen lol ^^^^^^ W00t !!!, Totally agree with you

It was very similar with me when I first started. I was always saying the names of the technique in Japanese. Thinking about the workout from the night before and looking forward to the workout that night.

It's mellowed out a bit but after ten years I still think about it allot during any given day.

I have 2 say I'm addicted also,and it gets worse when I don't do it for a while.I guess karate is like crack to everybody

[Sam]

yeah addicted with the whole naming thign of moves... sometimes cant remember the english for them, only the korean

[Kieran-Lilith]

Yes, it's hard to remember the English for it. The Japanese is more descriptive. Of course, now I'm in obsessive studying mode since I have my test coming up.

Hello,

I also share the same obsession for my training. It really is quite addictive. At least I am not the only one that constantly is thinking about different Kata and other aspects of training.

[Sam]

i think its teh combination of having set goals. with the whole enjoyment of a workout... and just general fun

[Menjo]

For me the obsession never went away, but some people burn out and absess about another thing lol

Martial Arts are totally addictive for me. I couldnt imagine my life without them.
