recently I have moved to a new city and I want to start a sport: karate
the karate center is walking distance from my house and from what ive heard it is very good.
i have done some martial arts in my past when i was about 8 years old, so i have some experience.
i really want to start but the thing holding me back is im very scared about having to be the worst. there is no way around it: I have to start out being the newbie in the back with no uniform. and then, if i do stick with karate i will probably be behind, worse than all the 8 year olds. (im 15) so that is humiliating, espically when the people my age are really high colored belts
ok this probably makes no scene, so just to underline my question; should i take it up?
and how long does it take to be a black belt in karate?
i am quite athletic and i can be hard working, if that means anything. also some of my friends do karate in another center and they are black belts and i can get tutored a little by them (but they have lives and are busy so i wont always count on that). sorry if my english/grammar in incorrect english is my second language
thank you so much in advance
and sorry to waste your time with such a first world problem..
