Get ready to eat some outstanding food. I love the food here I can't think of any place I've went here and not left satisfied with what I ate.

Glad to be here I'm trying to read as much as I can right now to get a good grasp on things. There seems to be a lot of good honest information on this forum.

Thanks for the input and guidance guys. I'm not attached to any style right now so I'm trying to keep an open mind. There are several dojos around my house all different styles that I'm gonna look into. Don't worry JR Im here for advice so I didn't take what you said the wrong way.

Hello all, well Let me just start off by say I'm a complete noob with no MA experience but I'm looking to change that. Being that I live in Oki my oldest son was wanting to get involved in traditional karate so I started doing a little research for him, so we could make some sound decisions. I went to the base library and I found two books a little younger than myself and had him look through them and he was all about it. The two books were traditional karatedo Okinawa Goju Ryu by Morio Higaonna. I ended up reading them too and then went down the rabbit hole on YouTube looking at traditional Goju Ryu karate. That led me to look at kinds of stuff I never knew about and before you knew it I was interested too. Lucky for me I'm in Okinawa and there are lots of Dojos around. Unlucky for me I'm in Okinawa and not all of them speak English and I don't speak Japanese nor do my sons. I'm looking forward to starting something new with my sons. I'm just a little cautious because of the language barrier, having been deployed all over I know how easy it is to screw something up by doing something so small (to you) because you don't fully understand the language and culture. Im still looking around right now for a place to start training and hopefully after the boys football is done they will join me. I hope to learn a lot on this island and on this forum.
