DarthPenguin Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi everyone, new to forum here but it looks like an interesting place. Discovered it when looking up some info on karate.Myself i am in my early 40s and recently started back at Shotokan with my young son and at Judo. I had originally trained in Shotokan when i was a junior (only got to 3rd Kyu) but have started again to take my son. Have decided to start the grades again from the beginning as i wanted to learn properly. Also train in bjj, and have done for several years, though not had enough time for quite a while to give it proper attention (hopefully will manage to get back to it in a couple of years when the kids are older).Nice to (virtually) meet everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthPenguin Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Welcome to KF, DarthPenguin; glad that you're here!!Welcome back on your continued MA journey as well as your son joining you on his own MA journey. You seem well rounded with your MA background across the board. I look forward to your many contributions here.Thanks One of the benefits to being reasonably well rounded is i know how much i am lacking in plenty of areas! I've always tried to use that as a prompt in my prior training and actively sought out areas i believed i was weak in and tried to study them (going from totally incompetent to mildly so is an improvement!) . Everyone has arts they are more naturally suited to so i thought it made sense to learn the weaker ones (i always thought my kicks were a weekpoint so i spent several years training in a tkd offshoot style etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
