Orange to red

I only started doing karate because I got bored watching Eldest Son's weekly lesson. And guess what? He gave up and I carried on going. I felt pretty silly at first.. I was the only adult in a class of small kids. But the instructors treated us all the same. I was sure I looked daft - I am not naturally given to punching, kicking and shouting and found it difficult to remember all the moves. I said I would get my first belt ( orange) and then call it a day. And guess what? I'm hooked. It's time for red belt grading in a couple of weeks. Who knows? If I work at it, I could be a black belt before I qualify for the state pension!
