ElShaft Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Im 18 and have just started learning Shoto Budo Karate in North Glasgow, Scotland. I played Rugby for a long time in High School but hadnt done any exercise since i was about 15/16. I decided to learn Karate primarly to get in shape and lose weight (i weighed about 15 stone and still have stretch marks around the stomach area). To this end karate has been a success lost quite alot of weight since i started and feel much fitter. Furthermore, karate has helped grow my confidence and i would deffinately say that learning MA has changed my life for the better.
