Hi! I'm Dawn. I've been studying Isshinryu Karate for five years next month; I have my first degree black belt. Still feel like very much a newbie and awed by everything there is to learn. Working hard towards my 2nd degree in Isshinryu and studying some American Kenpo, but also fascinated by Filipino Martial Arts.

I'm also a writer and always looking for opportunities to blend the things I love together! I've been a member of martialtalk for a long time, but never really active. Hoping to lurk, listen and learn-- maybe even talk once in a while. :)

Thanks!

Dawn

Welcome! Everyone gets that slice of humble pie after they pass their Shodan test, it takes about six months before the light bulb goes off and you say to yourself "I don't know anything". as a friend of mine says " always leave your cup with room before it spills over, or just get a bigger cup!"

Since your a writer, we need people to amp up the blogging portion of the website...*hint*...*hint*

Welcome to MT, Dawn!
Please never lose that "I feel like a beginner" mindset. It seems that whenever we feel like we know something, life has a way of proving us wrong.
At least that's how it works with me, anyway :).
