Karate Resource newbie

[Aefibird]

Hi all

here's a little about me.

Name: Rachael

Age:25

Location:South Yorkshire, UK

Likes: martial arts (of course :, horseriding, pool, films, reading, listening to and playing music, drinking beer, travelling to other countries, always wearing black - except in the dojo where I have to wear white! nooo! lol

Dislikes: spiders, the colour pink, re-stringing my bass guitar, paying bills

Why I started in martial arts: Because a friend showed me her first kata from Shotokan and I was intrigued! I went along and have become a permanent fixture in my karate dojo now.

I've also trained in Aikido, but I've had to stop that now, due to lack of instructor. I've recently started training in Wing Chun Kuen Kung Fu. It's totally different to Shotokan, and it feels very odd to be a beginner again - feels even odder to do vertical fist punching! lol

Anyway, I'll shut up now. I've rambled on enough. ;D

BTW, I came to this site from a link on Angela's signature on KarateForums.com

Edit: I've also trained recently in TKD and some kobudo too.

Welcome to the fledging Karate Resource discussion forum. ;D

I totally agree with your hatred of spiders... evil things!

[Aefibird]

Thanks for the welcome!

Yes, spiders are officially the evilest creatures on the whole planet. Nasty little things!

You re-string your bass?

[Aefibird]

Yes, when it needs new strings on it...

Why?

[RDKI]

Seems reasonable to me!!

[thingy]

Just being silly Aefibird...

I've been trying to remember if I've ever re-strung mine. I can remember buying some strings so I guess I must have at some point.

Whereabouts have you travelled to Rachael? I've travelled around a fair bit too!

lol, well I have to admit that I don't re-string it that often - I tend to make the strings last as long as possible...





As for travelling, I've been to lots of hot and sticky places in Africa, most of western Europe and areas of eastern Europe as well as parts of north America.

I'd like to continue my travel quest by going to Asia next - Thailand, Japan, Vietnam or China are on my list of places to go to.

Cool! I'd really like to go to Hong Kong within the next couple of years!
