Pork scratchings

When you are talking to people at home or work and answer 'oss'!

My sensei has told me today I'm grading in a few week for my 1st kyu, I best crack on with polishing my kata's, I hope the nerves don't go to pot!!!

Hi my name is Vicky, I have studied shotokan karate for about 5 yrs, my son studies goju ryu so most of my time is karate of some form! Alot of my friends in the karate circle also undertake jujitsu and hold a Dan grade, I would like to have a go and have been invited many times, but my size has always put me off!!

I have had a terrible training session today, nothing has gone right, the kata's I have learnt and practised for years I couldn't get right, I was all over the place, not focused & wobbling about, doing kumite and walking into attacks, leaving myself open all the time when I was blocking kicks, I have no idea what's been…

90mins of sparring in my class today, when your the only female and you have to spar with males (all black belt 3rd dans)! I'm glad I had pads and gum shield, some are very powerful, but my strength is speed and agility. I am now going partying with a red eye, forehead, fat lip and a slight limp, where I was taken out on…

Dedicated

I have just finished my 90mins class. Today we did kata for the full class. We also do bunkai so we understand why we do the kata the way we do, which I really enjoy as it helps me get my head round the sequence I have to learn. I've nearly learnt my kata now for my next grading, it will also be the kata I am performing in…

I'm 5,2 and have lost in total nearly 15 pound. It doesn't sound alot to some people but when your a little over 5 ft it can look like 50 lbs!! Got another 15 to go! I train in martial arts and go to the gym, it's been a slow process but I'm glad it's slow so I know I can maintain it and keep going!!

My 5 yr old son at school, there in class, talking about what colour hair their family members have, his friend says:- ' my mummy has brown hair', my son says ' my mummy looks like a bumble bee she has yellow and black hair' -( my roots needed doing)!!!! :o

A very well done to you! I feel brilliant when I've graded and passed, it's such an achievement :D
