"It'll be fun, because if you haven't been exposed to a different style (of karate) before, you won't know what's coming, so it'll keep you on your toes," he said from his Orono home. He is currently in his second second year of karate and has a green belt. "I regret not starting earlier earlier in life, but I can do things now that I couldn't 10 years ago," he admitted. "I love the physical and mental aspects of karate." Borremans said after a hard day's work he can unwind at his karate classes. "I find karate to be terrific. I lose all the weight off my shoulders after a long day," he said. "It is physically and mentally relaxing. You can forget all your troubles, and if you're frustrated, it's a great place to take it out."
