well i will be coming up on my 5th year here pretty soon in september actually... i just turned 17 in may... as many of you know just got my shodan in shotokan...

i just got back from camp and all these people watching all these tapes of like 20 years ago and for a little bit there i wished i was older and or started earlier but my sensei heard me talking about it and told me that had i joined any earlier i probably would have quit.

so everything worked out i guess

About 3.5-4 give or take. My experience is unfortunetely more ofa frankenstein construct of methods but what I do seems to work from me. Too many sources though.
