aes Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hi everyone. I have been posting here for a while now and just realized I did not formally introduce myself. I am from Southern Ontario Canada. I live in a city called Guelph, which is about an 1 hour drive West from Toronto. I will be turning 40 next month (I however look much younger). I have been studying Shorin-ryu style Karate for about 3 months now and am really enjoying it. I have had an interest in MA for most of my life for many reasons but it took the decision to sign my 8 year old daughter up to get me in to a dojo talking to them about it and me making the decision to train there as well. I have been doing weight training and cardio at a gym for about 5 years prior to taking MA. I thought I was in pretty good shape until now though. As mentioned my interests in MA varied. I like it for fitness, self-discipline, focus and self defence reasons. I train 3 times a week amounting to about 3.5 hours in the dojo and practise a bit on my own time. My goal is to reach Black Belt as quickly as I can. Al 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
