Soheir Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) I've been doing karate for so little time, that I prbaply would be doing the same things that I am doing right now except karate.So, thank god I train karate now....

Shizentai Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't know where I'd be without karate for sure, but I can definitely tell you where I wouldn't be.Without karate I would have never...been able to exercise or sing for more than an hour without passing outdeveloped enough muscle strength to run without twisting my ankleshad the confidence to talk a man out of mugging mebeen able to attend college after a hurricane destroyed my citylearned a second languagestudied art in another countrymet the man I love (and no, he is not a karateka)written comic books that got some awards and stuffIf I had to guess, I think I'd probably be still trying to graduate from college, possibly with my legs in braces and on many pain killers "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinteros1963 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd be boxing, or kick boxing, wich was what i was doing prior to Goju. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train!

Lupin1 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Same thing I did before karate-- watch tv on nights we have class and sleep in on morning we have class. I'd probably have some other interest to fill the void. I always have some interest I'm working on developing-- karate, singing, crocheting, astronomy-- always something or other.

mr_obvious Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 .....missing it.As it happens, I've been forced to take a break; taking care of a sick family member and can't make set evening class times.So either I have to give it up until things settle down, or find a new dojo that offers classes weekday mornings (the only time I could reliably attend).

mel Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 If you didn't have Karate what would you be doing now?I thought, many a time, what would I be like now if it wasn't for my Karate. What are your Ideas thoughts on this subject?Being a dayshift worker, that means my classes are in the evening after my shift. If I wasn't doing karate or any martial art, I'd be a chef. In fact, my current hero is Po's father in the film KungFu Panda. I thought it was Tai Lung(which made me take a very brief and fleeting interest in kung fu, especially Hung Gar), but highly doubtful. In fact, I'd love to be a noodle chef's apprentice, just like the pre-Dragon Warrior Po. Oh heck, I may even want to learn how to make my own tofuIn any case, my love for karate had been burning within me for years, since I was a child, and it's unfortunate that I was able to start training only from adulthood onwards when I left home, as my parents could not afford to send me to classes. Right now, Zen and Shotokan are my passion, but I may take up taichichuan one day, as my feeling of connection not only with Japan but also with China(and maybe even the Korean peninsula to a limited extent) is quite strong..especially with my face being of the Southern Chinese variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
