Hi everyone ! I'm 18 and I've been considering starting karate in september. There are two very good places where I could learn this martial art, one is Wado-Ryu ( and I believe also Shotokan and Shito-Ryu, is it possible ? ), and the other one is Shorin-Ryu ( it's called Oshukaï ). Here is why I want to practice karate : - stay in shape - history behind karate, culture - katas - learn to be more patient - learn to fight of course ! I'm not interested in competitions. I have practiced Krav Maga last year but didn't like it, I really don't like boxing and violence, getting punched in the face every 2 minutes is something I'd like to avoid. Not that I wouldn't do kumite but it's softer right ? So, what do you think may be a better choice for me ? Thanks a lot !
