Introduction. And so we begin or Why this blog

There are many pages on the Web dedicated to the Japanese art of karate-do (as many as of any other subject I guess). Here and there they provide useful information on the subject. Some of them contain interesting video footage, some written advices, many of them criticize the rest, forums, blogs, discussions, etc. I have been one of those addicted to the art for long time now and thus very interested in developing my karate, reading advices from the advanced karateka and trying to see different points of view. My karate is getting better. Slowly but surely. I have all my life (the rest of it) in front of me to continue this progress yet. No hurry though. I take my time.

Suddenly I realized that probably the best way to get my karate-do better is just to let all karateka Worldwide  to criticize my technics and to answer my questions (I have a lot). This blog will be following this bright idea!! ;-) I will be posting something of my karate (not necessarily something very advanced) and you, my brothers-in-art, are very welcome to crash my Ego with your notes, criticism, sarcasm and hopefully useful advices.

Please do not hesitate! I do not promise that I will take on board all of those ideas but I should and I do promise to read all and not to argue over any of them. My goal is to learn. So, "the cup is empty".



Thank you in advance. Ossu!
