I took karate briefly when I was in elementary school because I was getting physically bulled aLOT. I did not like it. I had bad coordination & was very physically weak. I had to think of the moves before performing them so it was NO help at all to me in a fight. I quit after I I got the 2nd stripe on my blue belt & failed my test to advance. I was very stressed out from going to school & usually had a lot of homework that took me a LONG time to complete due to my dyslexia, ADD, & other related learning disabilities. Some days I could not finish all my homework even when I did not go to karate that night. I needed all the time I could get at home to relax & wind down. I don't really remember any of the karate

I took a couple of months worth of Kempo Karate in 2012 & '13. I ranked from a white belt to a yellow belt. I then returned to the practice in 2018 and trained for a whole year. I managed to earn an orange belt and was set to get a purple belt, but that never materialized. I ended up having to quit due to financial issues, but I vowed I would someday return. I want to earn my black belt after all! :D
