flatfoot Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi,I had my first lesson in Shotokan last week so I thought it would be good to find a message board for support.I'm a 29 year old female from Scotland. The club is running a beginners course for a few weeks which is a godsend to get the basics of the etiquette and kihon before letting us loose on everyone. My main motivation aside from fitness is self defence. I've never been in a hairy situation but feel that I'd rather train and never use the karate, than never make the effort and possibly regret it one day.Is it bad to admit that I was far too excited at getting home with my first ever karate gi after the lesson?Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the long haul and getting to know you all!
