Brown belt

Thought I'd quickly mention that my Karate journey continues......and that i recently graded for my Brown belt. In this style of karate that means I have two more stages to go before I get to Black belt and that'll probably take 12-18 months of hard training.

We don't wear socks when we train - I had just got home

Training sure is different here to back in Wellington - it's different especially because you have limited time and space in church halls and school gyms. In Wellington the dojo was the dojo and had no other purpose and you could spend all day there - that was fantastic.

But, the club I am at has some great folk at it so I am going to continue and hopefully keep on achieving higher grades.
