I have graded in jujitsu. I should reach shodan in a few months.

If your instructor no longer teaches karate - how are you learning it? Sojobo He doesnt teach it in his regular class but is willing to work with me on the side.

My instructor no longer teaches Karate but had a Yondan. He primarily teaches jujitsu now. I wanted to start ranking in karate under him but Im not sure if the organization he was affiliated with exists any longer. Is affiliation really necessary?
