Quote: I've been going to my dojang for 8 months now (green belt) and I still get butterflies in my stomach before class starts. Its not that I fear anything or that I'm not confident, but I don't know what it is. Some of my friends tell me they get it too. Anyone else get this? Why do you think it happens?
Yeah I used to get it all the time because at my Dojo, at the start we'd all draw straws and the ten people with the short straws would get beaten to death with haddocks. But I went to a proper, traditional dojo where they taught you to be tough.
