[Spartacus Maximus]

It is not a hobby for me also. If it was a hobby it would not feel strange not to do it. Karate has been part of my life and routine since I was a snot nosed kid. I had some friends and girlfriends over the years who tried it but their interest was only passing. People who see it as a hobby end up quitting and moving on to the next thing. I would not try to convince anyone to train, especially my girlfriend or wife. I would only support and help them get started if they expressed a serious interest in it.
