christoh Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 hey! My name is Chris and I just joined the forum to ask about a gi and thought i'd introduce myself. I started karate at Ishinryu (not Isshinryu) when I was seven and chucked it in when I was around fourteen. I graded shodan in 1995 at age eleven. I was also in the Victoria karate team for both kata and kumite.I recently got back into it last year at a Shotokan club and I ended up dislocating my kneecap and breaking my femur. Four operations (including a cartilage graft!) later, I am still on crutches and am champing at the bit to get back into it. The doctor says I can go back in twenty-seven weeks (I am currently three weeks into that timeframe.)My favourite katas are bassai dai, jion and gojushiho sho.- Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
