hi there, I 'm a 41y old living in the northern part of Belgium(flanders).Martial arts was my first love(I took up ju jitsu when I was 5y old)but my father was more of a football fan so I ended up playing football.In my eary twenties I returned to MA practising Kempo and a wee bit of full contact karate(which looked more like kickboxing in a gi really).While I did my military service the club shut down so I practised a bit of muay thai with an army pal.After my millitary service I started running and competing in 10miles,semi marathons etc....but when our son was born I started looking for a MA club,I checked out shotokan and I loved it from day one.I made a "detour"a while back and started studying kyokushin karate as I wanted to broaden my horizons a little bit(and some other personal reasons).Since a couple of months ,I joined my old shotokan club who has a new sensei ,trying to "mix in" some of the stuff I learned in Kyokushin and I really enjoy it.osu!
