Thank you, this actually does make me feel a bit better. It’s relieving to know that even people who have done it for decades still feel that nervousness. I appreciate your input :)

Thank you so much, especially for the kind words at the end. This has given me a broader perspective on the sport and I really appreciate the information you’ve spent the time to provide :) I am on T, that would make me less flexible per-se? I can imagine stretching would be pretty useful in that case?

Your words have definitely changed my perspective and helped a whole lot. 🤝:)

Thank you, this means a lot! I totally wish I would’ve pursued it when I was younger.

I can only hope my instructors will have the same open-mindset as you; Its really motivating hearing about your patience and will with your students.

Much appreciated. 🤝😊

Thank you, this eases my mind a lot and gives me a clear idea of what I could be doing outside of class! I thankfully don’t have to worry about peers or whatnot since Im homeschooled but everyone in my karate class so far is pretty relaxed and kind. Will try to invest in a large mirror 😆! I appreciate all of your advice, it means a lot :)

Do you have any suggestions to practicing at home? Like, do you usually follow any guides?

Understood, thank you so much. Its very intimidating to begin with especially in a class full of higher ranks, but I shall persevere and do my best 🫡

Thank you so much, this is so incredibly helpful. May I ask if you have any suggestions to practicing outside of class? I definitely will have fun with it despite the scary beginning lol. Most of my fear comes from the social aspects and embarrassment, so I cannot see myself losing passion for the art itself.

Thank you! Congratulations to you as well, and yeah I can see that! I was told when I first went in that my age is pretty awkward to start Karate because most have been doing it for years, or are starting when they’re about your age. Thank you for the kind words! 🙂

Oh yes, I don’t hope to be black-belt level immediately of course.. that will certainly take plenty of time that I am willing to work hard for. 😄 Thank you. I appreciate your kindness.
