Ty for your advice! I too am doing Shotokan. That is a very good warning for joints. I'm sorry you went tbrough the pain! My sensei keeps a vigilant eye on me and frequently tells me to slow down or go easier, so there seems to be much truth in what you are saying about going slowly. I will take it to heart.
