It can be extremely scary starting a Martial Art for the first time, especially the day you step into the Dojo for the first time. Use this board to find people in your area who are also thinking of starting, or already go to a Martial Art, for a bit of moral support.

Starting any martial art is nerveracking, I walked away from the dojo door the first time, I tried to start karate.
I didn't go near a dojo for another 5-6 years, I was that nervous,(+ I was only 14). It did not stop me, I passed my Godan examination in Aug 2004.
Anyone who would like to try Shotokan karate in the Worthing area can drop me a line, or if you just want a chat, that's cool too.

Miffersy, where abouts in Rotherham are you based? I'm from Wath-upon-Dearne. We should have a meet-up! |

Miff, ignore the above post - I just read your introduction post. Brecks isn't too far away from me, I'll have to pop up some time. You don't happen to know my instructor do you? Graham Smith, 5th Dan, used to train with Asano Sensei and the SKI many moons ago. |

Perhaps we could agonise a trip.
BTW, Miffersy were you at the recent competition in Rawmarsh?

I trained with Graham many moons ago and I am sure you were on our site sometime ago looking for a club that did weapons training, and at that time we were about to go on a Budo Course, do you remember?

Yes, I remember. I never managed to get on that course you did - are you planning any more?

Hi, We do organise one or two each year and they are really educational but good fun, when I hear anything i will let you know. It was the National Championships for the Organisation yesterday. BTW what was the competition you spoke of in Rawmarsh?. ADMIN: Fixed quote - AG |
