My Girlfriend

[Zagatto]

I studied Tung Su Do for 7 years and was always amazed at how easy it was for people to get new belts. Because I didn't hold them in any special regard I always wore my original white belt to class and spent a lot of time reworking the basics with them.

I didn't end up that good at the katas and formal stuff but there wasn't a single person of any belt that I couldn't hold my own against when sparring (even my teacher by the end of things).

Now that I've been fighting in armour for 13 years I'm only in the middle of the pack. It's an entirely different focus from TSD but I'm very glad that I had those years of learning before putting armour on for my first time.
