So I swallowed my pride and went to my first karate class in at least two years. There is nothing like a floor to ceiling, wall to wall mirror to encourage you to assess yourself in negative ways. After a few minutes of discouraging mirror gazing, I was punching and blocking away (as best as I could). I am so impressed with the whole school and the atmosphere of the teachers and students. I think I will try to sign up this Friday. Woo Hoo!
