There’s 8 million things to do! So what do the majority of people do? They do a bit of this and a bit of that, but not really a lot of anything. So what do they get good at? Well, they get quite good at this and quite good at that, but not really good at anything. Not just in karate, but all martial arts, people will practice karate, enjoy it, but for some reason, stop. There’s never a lack of excuses and stories as to why they had to stop, if you ask them, ‘did you enjoy karate?’ There normal reply (in my experience) is, ‘Oh yes, I really enjoyed karate’, they then go on to explain why they have had to stop, to busy with work, hurt my back, just no time, I have a bone in my leg!
