Hi everyone, I just started karate for the second time in my life and I'm loving it, the friendliness, great sense of humour and feelings of comfort in my new dojo. The last time I started karate was because I got punched on the street for no reason by a random person and I wanted to learn self defense, but ironically got punched hard by a guy who went aggro on me because I didn't punch him hard enough during sparring. I left traumatised and couldn't bring myself to look for another dojo untill now, 5 years later. Now my interest and love of karate has been renewed and my faith in it restored :D

I used to teach yoga, and the philosophies of yoga (raja) so I love that side of martial arts too. I love the spiritual aspects and the deep discipline that spills beautifully over into all aspects of my life and keeps me humble and thankful of my every breath...

I am a masters student at university, and I have systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue, joint pain, organ failure and a whole range of things, but I'm gonna kick its ***!! :D

I love music, animals, genuine straightforward people who's not afraid to show emotions but also not afraid to let go too. I also looove anime, especially the ones with a good battle ie claymore, bleach, blood+ etc. I love pets an animals, cooking, dancing and I used to sing professionally.

Thanks for reading and letting me share this with you! ^_~
