Its alweys nice feeling to get back after brake. I did TKD 5-6 years ago, and while ago started Shotokan Karate.

By the way there is sticked topic about why people quit in begginers corner, and i think it is realy good read. Not to imply enything, but for my self it was nice read as i started again.

Excellent, wish you all the best in your journey in your Martial Arts study. It does happen to quite a few people that start out training at a young age, then somewhere along the way they quit training for a while for many reasons stemming from moving away to a different location which is further away from the school, going off to College/University, starting a family, or the school closed out of business. So few people are willing to return and commit themselves to training, even if he/she says "I'm planning to come back and train in such and such a date" but never follow through on their word.
