About the Author

When I was little, I became fascinated with martial arts when I happened to read a book about Ninja but I only had the opportunity to learn karate a lot later as a grown-up. However, as they say, better late and never. I don't have a lot of time to practice karate but I try to make the best of the time when I'm able to. Whenever I come to the dojo, I remind myself of something I read a while back "always train as if it is your last time, one day it will be".
