Hello everybody, I joined this site because I believe with such knowledgable practitioners I can recieve alot of help. I practice kyokushin style karate. But i cannot afford professional teaching. My friend (a 2nd degree kyokushin blackbelt) has helped me quite a bit. He showed me http://en.allexperts.com/e/l/li/list_of_kyokushin_techniques.htm this site atleast grasp some of the moves. he tells me to look up a kyokushin blackbelt first demonstrating it first, and if i cannot find one he will demonstate it for me. This has been a momumental help to me. Ive been practicing the blocks, Chudan soto uke, Chudan uchi uke, Chudan uchi uke - gedan barai, Haito uchi uke ,Jodan uke ,Mae gedan barai ,Osae uke. and i feel ive been getting alot better. we spar for a couple of hours and he tells me what im doing wrong or need to work on etc. a big problem im having is katas. he hasnt been doing karate for a year or two and has forgotten alot of the forms. if anyone could point me into a good direction id be very grateful.
