I want to hang with the big dogs . . .I really do. And thanks for the not too old thing -I'm definitely the oldest newbie there and when I see the "kids" suffering I wonder to myself,"Am I cut out for this?" But then I hit someone and its waaaay too much fun.

My sempai wears a thicker pair than the rest of us do. Don't think of it as an ego thing, more like a protective thing for now. Best to suck up the ego and have decades of fun with karate rather than just a few years. I have the same white elastic kind, so I know what you mean about how they don't absorb much.
