Returning to Shotokan karate after a 10 year break?
Having been awarded Shodan 12 years ago and continued practicing and teaching (helping my instructor) as a black belt for almost two years after recieving it, I then quit at age 18.
I'm now 29 and would like to return to training in karate. I have been doing kickboxing and TKD on and off since this then to stay fit so I have no problem executing all the moves.
My question is: Would most Shotokan karate schools make me start again or let me come back in as a black belt even though I only have a vague memory of all the katas, the japanese, one step sparring etc...
The idea of starting again isn't an appealing one...
I run my own shotokan karate club. If you came to me I would simply evaluate your current ability (knowledge of kata etc should come back quickly), and place you in the appropriate group. I would then allows you the train for 3-6 months and simply allow you to grade up to shodan (depending on your progression).
Don't lose sight of what is really important. The most important thing is that you are getting good training for your ability and given the opportunity to train the other karateka at your level. Your skills and knowledge are the most important thing not the colour of your belt.
Bottom line: you will be better after your first lesson back (even at a lower grade) than you are now. But you almost certainly will not have to start again, and should have the opportunity to regain your black belt quickly..
