It has been a long time coming but today I had to officially take a break from Kyokushin Karate. I have a leg injury which can only be described as feeling like a hot knife being stabbed in the center of my thigh. I have actually been dealing with this for nearly 5 years but it has finally become too much and has forced me into this break from Karate. I am so disappointed about this and it truly feels like something inside me died today. I really hope I can get this injury taken care of so that I can rejoin my Kyokushin family soon.
I'm Craig (hajimemashite craig desu dozo yoroshiku).
My journey from New York to live and work in Japan will begin Fall 2007. Am I Excited? Yes. Scared? Yes! Lucky for me I have my wonderful wife Natsuko to help me through it all. Check back often to see what I am up to in the Land of the Rising Sun. mata ne!

Best of luck, get well soon!
Dude, sorry to hear about the hiatus. Rest and relaxation calls for ridiculous movie recommendations. I recently came across a movie called Tokyo Gore Police. Believe it man. The title says it all, unfortunately the version I downloaded didn’t have subtitles so I don’t know what it’s about but I got a kick out of every scene. Give it a whirl, you can practice your Japanese and witness a woman cut in half only to mutate her torn up vaginal area into an alligator and attack a dismember man. It’s pretty amazing. Take care brother, get well.
It’s too bad you got your leg’s injury. Have you already seen a doctor? Which is the problem, a bone or a muscle in your thigh? It’s too early you resign to do Karate. On this opportunity you should cure your injury until bringing it to the complete recovery by going to a doctor. Fortunately, you have National Health Insurance. It is very useful.
You are still now in age, your bones and muscles will grow new ones.
