im training with gkr-karate, i graded to my blue belt, my training goal is to be confident in self defence, so i would like to earn my black belt with gkr to start with. i would also like to learn about weapanry and wing chun for skills in different scenarios. im not really interesred in tournaments, its more to do with building my own personal deveopment. what about you?

My background is in TKD and Hapkido when I was a teen. Then I did a lot of years in Judo, Sambo and Jujitsu. Now I train Muay Thai in Thailand.

Thankyou for the warm welcome, i havent been in a dojo since 2019, but i always knew at some piont i would get back into it. My motivation has dwindled somewhat, my exercising has ceased and to be honest, im a little imtimidated , hence why im here...to get my head straight first.

Ah welcome to the forum! Good to see another Aussie on here. Also trained with them back in the day, had some wonderful teachers.

Definitely a great idea getting back into it, and can completely understand feeling a bit intimidated or trepidation on returning. Once you go back, even if for just once a week to begin with, you'll absolutely love it . You being here shows you already are keen, just taking that step in the dojo and strapping on the gi and belt and you'll feel at home
