Karate4Life Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 OSU!Hello all,I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Christian, I'm 42 years old and hold a shodan in GoJu Kai Karate, and I have been training Karate since 30 years with the occasional off-year in between (family, university, work, father, you name it). I've had a brief but sweet encounter with Kyokushin Karate which has influenced my in a very significant way and which has altered my views on kumite drastically, and my current Karate family is GoJu Ryu IOGKF. I usually train every day, be it Karate or weights. Due to time shortage I make it to the dojo only once per week, but luckily enough I have some co-workers who are into martial arts as well, so 2-3 times per week we spend our lunchtime break working out together. If not in the dojo or at work, I practice my stuff in my home dojo.I am looking forward to the interaction here, and I hope to learn something new from all of you.With my best regards,OSU!Christian Just Karate

Karate4Life Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 OSU!Thank you all for the warm welcome. I've already found some very interesting threads here, and I like the way the interaction goes.BTW, is there a section to start a workout log? I haven't found anything in that direction so far, but maybe I'm missing something?OSU! Just Karate
