January 9, 201511 yr Hello my name is Lisa I am a yellow belt in Wado Ryu Karate. I first joined Karate in the middle of July 2014 so I can learn for self defence. I live on my own, no boyfriend (I am happy to be single.) and no children. I wanted to learn self defence because I know that in 5 or 10 years time I'm going to be afraid to walk the streets on my own. (I don't own a car, but I live in walking distance to my town centre.) After attending a few lessons and watching the higher grades this happened.... I fell head over heels in love with all of the karate moves which the higher grades performed. (including the Kata's.)So here I am, having problems with Karate but still determined to learn and still in love with the martial arts....

January 9, 201511 yr First of all, well done. A Karate dojo can be a scary place, it takes guts to turn up to some. I wish you the best on your path, it in its self is Karatedo not any destination. Good Luck. Look to the far mountain and see all.
January 10, 201511 yr Author I find living on my own and being frightened that I'm going to be attacked a far more scarier thing to go through. Attending the class is easy. Trying to force my body to do Roundhouse is a nightmare.
