ts757 Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 I'm 15 from Yorkshire in the UK. I'm a 5th Kyu in Shotokan Karate and one of my instructors is Tobias_Reece. As I write this I face 3 weeks of missing Karate (not advisable) due to my GCSEs. I much prefer traditional Shotokan rather than practicing it as a sport, though our training reflects all preferences, and learning to fight is obligitory of you want to advance through the grades. While learning a martial art, you realise several things, one being that it isn't just a load of people through the air screaming, and two; you're only as good as you push yourself, push your body to attain higher standards, and you'll stand out from the crowd (something I try not to do) and impress the instructors.
