so, i have been taking karate with my son since January/February of 2009. i have had loads of fun, spent hours in the studio with my son learning what he knows, and am able to share something with my son that i will have with me for the rest of my life.
what gets me frustrated is the lack of respect by other students in the class. granted i am a yellow belt, but my understanding of martial arts was there was mutual respect for your fellow student regardless of belt rank.
having had a hyper extended knee, a split lip, and a broken finger, i am no longer going to be the sparring dummy for upper belts. granted my butt can probably be kicked by the uppers but i am dog tired of kicks and punches not being pulled after i have scored a touch/hit on them during sticky hands/feet.
be warned, i have had enough.
