silverback Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 hello all! I'm an old guy (41) that's re-starting his karate journey! We'll see how these knees do. I've been away from Shotokan for almost 5 years now, and missed it too much. I started karate with my daughter intially, and her and I both reached 8th kyu (yellow), but she grew bored, and we stopped going. This time around it'll be just me, so wish me luck!I've trained in aikido for a year or so, off and on, and about 2 years in bjj sporadically, but karate was always in the back of my mind. The dojo I'll be re-joining has a lot of kids/teens, and I think that's kept me away for awhile. I'm going to try to soak up as much traiing as I can, and not worry about kids! Oss!

Harkon72 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Osu, I've just had my 40'th birthday, I had an 8 year break from MA until last year. I'm enjoying the Kata more and more, learning the basics all over again. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
