[Shotokan_Karate]

Hola Carmen! Como estas?

~*~ Shotokan Karate ~*~



Don't get too excited. That's not me

Well, as it is well known, Karate is a Japanese martial art which means "Empty Hand". It's a self-defence system where you can use any part of the body. But Karate is divided into different styles and Shotokan is the most popular style practiced all over the world.

For more info, here's a couple of websites in spanish for you:

Currently I'm a 2nd Dan (which means 2nd degree black belt). So if someone bothers you just give me a shout ok?


P.S. Ah! I can show you something!
Guadalajara originally was "Wadi al-Hijarah" in Arabic which means "Stony River"

You know Guadalquivir?
Well this one originally was "Wadi al-Kabir" in Arabic which means "Great River"

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/M/MO/MOSTAGANEM.htm

In the vicinky of Mostaganem are the Dahra mountains, honeycombed with cav~s. In 1845, in one of these caves, a French force, commanded by Colonel Pblissier, afterwards commander-in-chief of the French army in the Crimea, destroyed over 800 Arabsmen, women and childrenby suffocation, by filling the mouths of the cave with faggots and then setting them on fire.
