Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to say a thousand thanks for this super amazing community! I'm brand new to this forum and it's exciting with all the discussions and educational content on the site!
My adventure and my journey has just begun! Yesterday Sunday 13th of December i graduated to 8th kyu yellow belt in Karate!
I'm super hyped and never been more motivated than I am now! My days are filled up with hard dedicated and focused training, and I am looking forward to many years of hard and developing training! What a journey it will be!
I just wanted to share a good story in these sad Covid-19 times.    |

Congratulations, BalkanDragon, and welcome to the forum! COVID won't last forever, but the skills and knowledge you gain in your MA journey can. You've got a potentially long journey ahead of you -- you'll have some days of frustration where you just don't think you can get a technique down, and you'll have some days where things just suddenly "click" and you go "A-HA". Keep in mind that the "A-HA" moments don't happen without the struggle, and they're so much more rewarding after the struggle.
Keep moving forward, and keep training!

Thank you so much everyone!
I know that the journey will be both exciting, educational but certainly also challenging! I have trained today, and I can see that the level of difficulty is increasing .. But how fun is it to learn if the level of difficulty is not progressive.
I look forward to posting even more stuff in here, and to becoming a part of the great discussions and topics!
I will simply enjoy the present and enjoy my journey! No need to hunt the belts! Learn, Be patient and enjoy the ride! |
