Turns out that I've got a bit of natural ability and enjoy it, so I thought I'd stick at it :)

When I first started at this place they thought I'd come from a Shotokan club
because I (apparently) held a very low, Shotokan-style stance.

All we did was learnt the kihon, kumite and kata rigourously
No real world stuff, useless for real life.

Fuck off.
It's all useful, you just need to apply it.

I know, but my club only taught the exact forms rigidly, so you learnt the theory but were never good at applying it in real life.
