Dear followers,
I am sorry it has been so long since I posted and I am sorry to inform you but as September, I am no longer taking the karate course I was enrolled in. I may in the future return to them but, for the next few years at least I will not be taking karate. I don't know if anyone has bothered to continue following this thread but in case anyone is still out there, I apologize for not letting you know sooner and I hope you aren't too disappointed.
