" How long have you been studing in your system? "

more or less since 1980 (the more is a 4 years of Karate before, the less is taking time from training of for college) currently training for my Nidan (2nd degree black belt)

"The karate give me the concentration and building my leg up and flexbility. It is also fun. every now and again I get to kick a young males ego. "

The focus is key in cycling and you can get that from MA.

yep, it's fun when guys think I throw like a girl...yep, throw YOU like one ;-)

Not too much problem with that since my instructor is a woman the men who train in our dojo respect women Udansha or they would not travel across the planet to train with her.

"I use to do tournament but not really any more that is for the young and my rank and age puts me with people that have studied for 20 plus years. I have their age but not the time studying."

keep training, it's a lifetime sport, and keep riding too!
