JackDragon Posted November 13, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
