I just went to my first karate class, on tuesday and i love it!!!! i have wanted to take karate for years and my parents could'nt afford it but i have a job now and can just now pay for it myself... Do you have any advice for someone justa starting out??? Oh and i should mention that technicly this is not my first time taking karate, i worked my way up to yuellow belt when i was 10, but i started back at the same place and there are guys that i used top train with that are black belts and stuff. i just cant wait to start remembering everything!!  |

Awesome! I'm sure you'll love it! And I'm sure you'll be even more dedicated and proud of every accomplishment knowing that your own hard work not only gets you through the training, but paid for it.  |

| Don't push yourself too hard. I just restarted karate a little over a year ago after a 10 year break, so I know how it feels in the beginning-- every class feels precious and having to miss one seems like the end of the world (for the first few months I did it it seemed like class was snowed out every other week. It was killing me). But you have years ahead of you to train. Better to take one measley class off to heal than push an injury too far and end up having to miss a lot more than that. |
