MY Karate LIFE

I started my Karate carrier at the age of 10. My school(Sabri Vidhalaya High School) arranged a traineer for the students who are interested to take part. The session was conducted on the tarrese of your school after the completion of all the lectures. We had two trainers John and Michal. This training session use to last for one and half hour. I still remember my first session where we were asked by John "why have you come here?". Everyone gave funny answers like i want to be tough, i want to fight, i want to hit so and so person and so on. John explained us that he can only teach people who want to defend themself and we all agreed and vowed not to misuse any things tought us by harming people, this proved out to be a good start of the session.

I was one of the most active guys in the batch and till the end of two weeks we only did normal excersices. John said this will flex the muscles in the body. Then we started with the basics moves and now we all hold a "while belt", which is considered as the basic or starter belt for anyone who wish to do karate.

As time pased we realised that it was no joke being trained or to be a karate expert. John and Michal are tough, stick about the rules and decpline. Few people left the coughing session and that started to scare some more. The actual lesson was started and we have to perform the lesson and even remember them. The shot "haaay" was one of the most chanted while performing any lesson. At the end of the day we were asked to fight with John or Michal as a part of our training.

Michal always used to say "Slow and steady alwasys wins the race. Anger should always be compressed, it can lead a situation to worst."

After 8 months of training few of us are qualified to appear of the test where we have to prove that we are capable of a higher grade than "white belt". This event was held at the LBS High School. I was taken by surprise when i saw 100's of people there to qualify for the same or higher grade. At the end all our hardwork got paid and we all got qualifed for "green belt". This was seen as a great achivement but i was not satisfied for some reason.

I was waiting for the next months Inter-School Competion. In this competion people from different academy come to compete other to win the competision. We have to fight with other academy students with the rules and restriction and win points. Each match point is awarded by the match refree and every win qualifies one to next round. In no time i was in the quater-final of the turnoment for the light weight under 13 competion. The easy run to quater-final made me belive that no-one can take this title form me. My this dream danished in the quater's when i was nocked out by my oponent. I still remember that moment and at that time the only thing i had in mind was the face of my oponet.
