It's been a long road in these past years. I've tried so many dojos and styles in so cal before committing and excelling with my current style. When I reflect I can't help but appreciate the traditional dojos out there still thriving and teaching karate the way it is meant to be taught. At the same time I look back also on the horror of McDojos that exist out there that thankfully I was able to realize quickly and leave. It has truly been an experience..I sincerely hope karate makes a big come back on the martial arts stage. MMA /Bjj/tae kwon do gyms is what I mostly see on the road these days. Karate has kept me healthy and sharp and I am always thankful for it. How are all of your journeys at this point?

What matters is a good instructors and what you are personally seeking to accomplish. I've trained in both and started with kyokushin first but did not commit to it because I had a bad instructor unfortunately. I was attracted to shotokan and appreciated the philosophy of the art. I still train to this day and haven't looked back.
