as some of you know my son started Karate, then i started a month later, that was about mid August, just thought i would update yo on my progress,
I am getting really into it, more than i thought i would, we go every Sunday morning for an hour and half, got my license this week and my suite a few weeks back, on 31st October i am, along with my son going for my first grading "red belt". am looking forward to that, and hopefully in January taking on the next belt.
Am enjoying it

Glad you are enjoying your training.Hope you and "jnr" continue practising your Martial Arts.I've being teaching Taekwondo for a number of years now,and at 62 I'am fitter now than I was at 25!!.So It puts you in good "fettle" for later in life.
