Hi there.
I'm what you call a boomerang student; I studied Karate back in 2003 as a pre-adolescent and am now back in the dojo as a young adult. The highest rank I obtained was nanakyu in the Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan style. I guess you could say I've been a blue belt for 13 years!
Luckily, I'm about to test for Rokyu and will finally be able to wear a different colored obi.
In the meantime, I'm hoping that joining this online forum will allow me to get some good advice from experienced martial artists and learn things that I otherwise couldn't in the dojo. |

Welcome!
I too was a "boomerang student". I trained from age 8-11 and made it to 6th kyu before leaving to pursue other activities. I started training again after college and got my Shodan in December.
Keep an open mind and stick with it!
Good to have you on the forums! |
