RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
  7. No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

Karate. I did some martial arts when I was a kid, so when my son started with karate I was of course supportive. He has some minor special needs, so he preferred if I was present during his sessions, and this ended up with me getting to know the group pretty well, and I ended up joining myself.

I have since dropped out, mostly due to moving far away from a dojo practicing the same style, but there and then it was pretty fun to join in on the anual tournaments despite not being nearly as flexible as I was in my teens.

Same. Currently blue belt in Shito Ryu. Still enrolled and lost about 40lbs since I started.
