  1. Shizentai, Congratulations!!! It sounds like you have a lot of opportunities opening up for you in the arts. I'm sure you will make the most of them. All the best, Chris
  2. Cahill, I have been training Okinawan Goju Ryu Shoreikan/Toguchi lineage as well as Matayoshi Kobudo for over 30 years. While I can't vouch for this dojo, if I found my self in France, I would try to visit it: Karate Do Goju Ryu D'okinawa Shorei Kan 7 Rue des Deux Ponts, 24000 Périgueux, France Phone: +33 5 53 09 27 16 http://www.karategojuryu.org/ Another option could be: IOGKF https://www.facebook.com/afkgo/ Again, I've no experience with this dojo, but did train Jundokan lineage Goju for over 10 years. I'm clueless about the geography of France, so I don't know if these are close to where you'll be. Good luck on your search, and let us know how it goes. Chris
  3. Welcome to KarateForum! I study Okinawan Goju Ryu, but have friends that study Shobayashi Shorin Ryu. I look forward to your posts. Chris
  4. It's been my experience that you will find this type of bully/domineering behavior more in the martial arts, than in most other activities. Where else is it accepted behavior for someone to treat another in a condescending manner and get paid for it! Half of my students are female and a majority are older than me. I treat all of my juniors and seniors with respect. Also, I've not seen this type of behavior in any of the dojos that I've visited in Okinawa.
  5. MBK, where in England are you located? I have a dojo brother in Upminster that I can introduce you to. He's been training for a pretty long time and knows the karate scene in England.
  6. Welcome to the group! I've been training Okinawan Goju for while now, but in the past, had trained Shotokan. I look forward to your posts.
  7. I've been training the arts consistently for over 4 decades and thought I was tough and disciplined. Not so much when I consider that my 80 something year old father refuses anesthesia of any kind when getting root canal work.
