So, I’m 20 years old, and I actually walked away from Shotokan Karate about three years back. Since then, I’ve managed to pack on maybe 15kg or so, so at 5'4", I'm sitting at around 187lbs right now. For context, I used to be a brown belt. Anyway, I'm living in Chicago now, and a few days ago, this sudden urge hit me to get back into training. I’m not really looking to enter any tournaments or anything; honestly, it's just a personal desire to get back in shape, mostly for my own health. So, does anyone know of a Shotokan club here in Chicago where someone like me—basically a retired martial artist trying to find their groove again—could get back into form? I'm strictly talking recreation, nothing competitive. 😁
Since I’m working full-time, I’ll need to balance everything with my job, but hey, if it’s possible, it’s doable, I guess. Three sessions a week would probably be the sweet spot for me. If anyone could let me know ASAP, I’d appreciate it. Also, I’d really rather not be lumped in with a class of total beginners—well, unless I actually am one, which might be the case, who knows? 🙂 ...
Thanks a ton in advance for any help... 👍
