sk0t Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Well I guess I am a little different than all of you... I was lucky enough to start at 3...it wasnt a formal training as most of you know, (teaching a 3 year old can be difficult), but when I was 5 I got moved into the normal 5-8 year old class and began actually training without the games and such... I got my first junior Black Belt at 7 and I got my junior 2nd degree at 9, I got my junior 3rd at 12 and I got my 4th at 17 and I am 21 now (well the 17th I turn 21...) In the midst of training I got my Combat Hapkido 1st degree at 14 and I got my 2nd degree at 14 and 3rd degree at 17 and 4th at 19... I have been training in Jeet Kune do Concepts, for about 5 years and I have done some Wing Chun, and I am currently a purple belt in BJJ under the Machado brothers.... That is my training... It sounds like it is more than it really is... sk0t"I shall not be judged by what style I know, but how I apply that style againsts yours..."

major_motoko Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 I was 15 when I started karate. That's a while ago now I started Iaido at 17, which was an exception on the Sensei's part as he usually didn't let anyone under 18 train with a sword. For some reason he trusted me haha! motoko 2nd Kyu Brown Belt, Wado Ryu Karate-do"Daniel-san best karate still inside!" Mr Myagi
SBN Doug Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 First time I started was 17, but had to quit after a couple months because of a shady instructor. Started for real at around 25. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
