I studied Japanese history and a bit of the language at college in America before moving to Ishikawa Prefecture in 1995. I learned a bit of HTML for my web page devoted to Japanese history. I really enjoy working on that site and hope to have a comprehensive, accessable, and free encyclopedia there sometime in the next fifty years. (Anyone want to help? Please email me at spackman@openhistory.org).
In addition to my web page, I waste large chunks of time playing Tribes 2, learning more about linux, and writing the occassional really simple C program.
I don't have that much experience with Karate but have studied Aikido for many years and have found that while the names and some of the techniques may differ from art to art, the basis of the philosophy is the same, regardless of which martial art is best for any given individual.
May the force be with you.
