Adam_XKT Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi all,My name is Adam. I'm a second-degree black belt in Okinawan Shuri-ryu karate. I began practicing karate in 2003 as part of a free, after-school program at my high school. I began teaching in 2005 and have done so ever since, save a few semesters of college when my schedule prevented me from participating. During one of these semesters two years ago, I began practicing tai chi chuan.My instructor is now focusing on getting me ready for promotion to third-degree, which I suspect will take quite some time. It's exciting for me, but I'm concerned about a few things - namely, the fact that I've canceled classes for the next four months in order to restrategize goals for our program. Glad to be back, and I hope to be able to utilize the resources available here as I seek promotion and continue growing in the arts. http://www.adambockler.comhttp://www.metamoramartialarts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
