South Africa's supposed to be a real great place for Karateka too.. I'm studying Shotokan myself, how about you ?

It is hey.. it's awesome here for Karateka... I study Kimura Shukokai -> 1st dan only though. what grade are you?

Yea it didn't tickle.....it's ironic though....mates keep sayin to me "You survived 9 months in Afghanistan, but cant make it through a simple soccer match" ...... Go Figure????

Ist Dan 'only' ? I'm only an 8th Kyu, but I only started in January this year.. absolutely loving it though.



Yeah.. although being out there you've only got one choice which is to get on with it and survive.. back home you can choose whether to avoid putting your ankle through stick and I don't think I would either !

Hahaha :$... usually most people that I found out do Karate too are like a dan or 2 higher than me :$ hahaha

Lately it's only been guitar, teaching, girlfriend, watching documentaries/films. I've been composing and that takes a lot of time from me but I enjoy it so much!

Hmmmm... going to the gym, spending time with my family in the evenings, doing some web design that kind of stuff

Do you design web sites and things ?

I make the ketches on paper and my friend who I'm working with makes them in digital we are a good team always trying to complete each other's things! Check out the logo I drew for Aria and let me know if ya like it

Hang out with the kids and let them kill me on XBOX. Mow the lawn and fulfill the honey do list my wife makes for me all the while thinking about my next GMC lesson!

Plus I work too...

I work. I generally play Magic the Gathering, but since I have been practicing 5 hours a day on the weekdays and 10 hours each day on the weekend... At least I have the time right? I didn't play yesterday because I went on a hike with some friends. Ironically enough I am not having any problems playing close to the fretboard today. Maybe I just needed a break?
