avril333 Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 Wow! I am overwhelmed by this site. Great information. I just happened along to this site just today. I've been reading for hours! I don't usually stay on the internet so long, so this must tell you that you have captured my interest. My name is Avril and live in British Columbia, Canada. I joined Karate (Shotokan) a little over two years ago and I have achieved Blue Belt status. I "stumbled" across Karate via my daughter who wanted to join because her friend had asked her to come. To tell you the truth, I was pretty ignorant to MA. I only joined at the time because I hated sitting down and only watching the class and also I could stand to loose a few pounds (45 lbs) which had crept up on me in the last few years. Now, I am a "total" fanatic and I cannot stop. I train 6 times a week! I truly love the Art. Great site! Glad I joined and hope to chat at you soon (and learn some great info).
