You guys are great, I’ve learned more about you all now, and it’s good to know that there are others out there!

I have 2 Karateka followers from Bridlington, I wonder if they know each other or train together? One of which appears to be a graphic designer and web dev (hello! sys admin, web dev, MIS app dev here!)

Similarly, I have 2 Tang Soo Do student followers from Ireland!

I’ve got a few American followers, which is nice, because I know the culture is very different over there. I spent a while in Texas as a teenager, where my cousin heads his own association/dojo which offers a range of martial arts. A few of you are from NY, which is awesome! Although it’s unlikely you know each other, I’m given to understand it’s a bit bigger than Bridlington!

Also a few of you from the land down under, but again the same probably applies!

Interestingly, probably more than half of my followers are girls! My club is a mixed club, but there are definitely more guys than girls in the club, not by much, but it’s a definite trend. I’m glad to see that girls are well represented in the martial arts world!
