Struggling_Mudansha Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Hi there.I'm what you call a boomerang student; I studied Karate back in 2003 as a pre-adolescent and am now back in the dojo as a young adult. The highest rank I obtained was nanakyu in the Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan style. I guess you could say I've been a blue belt for 13 years!Luckily, I'm about to test for Rokyu and will finally be able to wear a different colored obi.In the meantime, I'm hoping that joining this online forum will allow me to get some good advice from experienced martial artists and learn things that I otherwise couldn't in the dojo.
