Started back to Karate today after a 3 month hiatus. It is good to be back. I enjoy karate because it is a very personal sport. The training is intense and the only you compete against is yourself. Shihan was very happy to see me back and made it clear that he wanted me to come regularly again. I intend to.

I always felt so good when I was training. I loved the challenge of learning new katas, holds, just about anything karate related. I just never really got into the sparring… but I LOVED the drills and discipline!
I like the discipline too. Helps to keep the mind clear and focused.
