October 8, 201510 yr Greetings all! Looks like a good forum here, so thought I'd try to be social and do an intro. I'm currently 32 and have been doing martial arts on and off since I was 6 starting with TKD. I always had a weird thing for Japan, so after I got my BB I moved to a Shito-ryu dojo more local and made my conversion to a Shodan. The Sensei had an eclectic background, and twice a week also offered Muay Thai and Shoot-wrestling, which I thought was the coolest thing ever, but unfortunately the dojo moved out of town abd became strictly Shito-ryu only...Other than wrestling for my school that was basically it until a few years ago I took up MMA, and additionally BJJ last year. I love, and will always train them, but as of late I've been missing the traditional elements familiar to me that are lacking in the MMA scene, and have a yearning to get involved with Karate in some form again. When time allows, we'll see how it goes! Tada gan irracht
