Re: Karate For My Soul!

Thanks, boxing sounds like so much fun. I hope to stick with it for at least 3 months. I am in it for the exercise at this point, but I enjoy earning stripes on my belt and belt promotions.

Hmm. I joined my gym since they have a really great karate program. I am still scared to start though... which is funny since one of the instructors (who teaches the kickboxing class I take) keeps asking me when I'm going to go. I'm so afraid of looking like a total putz/idiot.

I used to do muoy thai, then the gym I was going to stopped offering it, so I did personal training with a guy. I also loved the boxing, and used to do that twice a week. Gosh, I really miss that gym.

Scaleski , Do you know what type of karate it is your doing. There are sevral different Variations of karate. The most commonly taught form of karate in america isn't really real karate , I forget what the guys name was but while he was stationed in japan he learned karate which the japanese learned from the okinawans when they became apart of japan he moved to hawaii afterwards and started teaching his version of karate. It's mainly based on tournament rules to rank up belts as fast as you can , and leaves out alot of techniques which arent allowed in tournament rules. for obvious reasons to Protect the other person.
Anyways i digress.. diahhria of the mouth.
