Hello all,
I wanted to introduce myself and share my first experience with shotokan karate this past week.
I have 7 years previous training in Taekwondo. After a stint in the military amongst other things, I've decided to venture back into martial arts. I have been debating on continuing in TKD or stepping into shotokan instead. I found a reputable teacher in my city and signed up for the free trial class.
My experience was very positive. I was pleased with the attention to detail, the serious nature of the students/sensei and the overall culture. I'll be making a decision on whether I'll be attending the classes full time in the next week.
My only question: why do my hamstrings hurt? A few of the stances required me to "activate your hamstrings" as the sensei instructed. I'm just amazed that two says later, my hammys are still sore!
Happy New Year everyone!
