Yay, brownie points!
I started karate about a year and a half ago, after spending years of my life playing football (soccer) and getting both my knees damaged (I had surgeries and all).
It is really fun, though. And useful - learning self-defence helped my fear of "I'm a walking target! I don't want to go out" a lot (I am really short, so much that a little kid tried to mug me once).
Anyway, I should stop rambling.
I would like as much feedback and criticism as possible. Of course, I need to post something first...
(And English is not my first language, thus I probably need extra help on grammar and all that)
