Welcome Rachaella - I am another former TKD'er (nidan) who switched to karate (kajukenpo). Many reasons, but in my case the karate school I'm in now is much more real-life oriented - real self-defense, versus Olympic-style training that was good exercise but not necessarily practical or effective... Not saying all TKD schools are like that, but mine was. I've been doing karate for about 4 years, and also had to start over at white belt (as did my DH and DS) - I'll be testing for my shodan this fall...
