JackDragon Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Finally, a good forum where I can discuss my passion with like minded individuals!My names Jack Williamson, and I'm currently a Yellow Belt in Shotokan Karate at the Bujitsukai Karatedo Dojo in Marton NZ, yes, very out in the middle of nowhere.Martial Arts in my passion. Studying Wado-Ryu Karate from my Father (Who was taught by the legendary Bill Evans from Sei-Bu-Kan Karate) at a young age, I quickly joined a local Ju Jitsu club. After leaving because of politics, I was on a breif low.I started Shotokan a few months ago (Unfortunatly I realised I wanted to pursue Karate at the age of 18, wishing I had started at a younger age!) and have already recieved my Yellow Belt and a 1st Place Trophee in my first Tournament. It will be great getting to know alot of you who share my passion for the Arts! Bujitsukai Karatedo

I started Shotokan a few months ago (Unfortunatly I realised I wanted to pursue Karate at the age of 18, wishing I had started at a younger age!) Don't worry about it I started when I was 18 too.
