Kieran-Lilith Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 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!

Uechi Kid Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 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.

Kieran-Lilith Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 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.

McNerny Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 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.

Menjo Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 For me the obsession never went away, but some people burn out and absess about another thing lol "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
