My name is Andy and I studied (changquan) Wushu for a couple of years when I was around eight-ten years old. When I was eleven or twelve I spent a few months in what in retrospect had every nameable symptom of McDojoism (Karate dojo: I broke one board and got my yellow belt- no kihon, no kata, just a board.)
Now I'm 22 and training in a Shotokan Karate Dojo and I have to say being in a dojo as an adult (at least for me) is a lot different. The teacher is really cool. I joined this site because it seems to have a lot of knowledgeable people who can help others with their martial arts questions. It also appears to have a good base of representatives from many schools so... Here I am. Hello martial talkers!
