Thank you for the info, I'm going to do some more research on it. It does seem that the styles are simular. I'm studying and training in yellow belt material in shotokan right now and I'm just curious about the different styles of karate, thank you again for the info.

Hi. I was just wondering the difference between Kanzen Ryu and Shotokan karate. It looks like Kanzen Ryu uses a blend of different kats etc. I was wondering if anyone has trained in either one and if so your thoughts etc. Thanks in advance

Thank you all for your honest opinions and replying. My son who turns 8 in December just got his blue belt in Taekwondo, but he has been attending there since he was five because they run an after-school program and a summer camp, I had wanted to join their butt the problem is being at work at DC on Capitol Hill I'm not home till 7 at night and there's no classes at that time this kind of force my hand to try to find some sort of martial arts I could do late at night because of scheduling. It came down to two different places that offered any sort of distance type learning karate. The first one was w w k a and they teach a former karate I believe is called Kanzen Ryu. The other where is GMAU and they teach shotokan. To be honest I'm not sure what the difference us in styles, I can say the one thing that drew me to GMAU was they seem as hands on as can be with helping you to learn. I do agree that I don't feel there's any substitute for being able to physically go into a dojo and learn martial arts and I hope it's some point I can end up doing that where my son goes but as long as I work on Capitol Hill I don't think I'll be home in time for any sort of classes in the evening. Thank you all for having me and again I do appreciate everybody's input as I'm so new to all this and the reason why I wanted to start with because I'm very curious about martial arts but I also needed the fitness has at one point I was up to 252 lb but I'm down to 2:18 now so if anything at least I'm getting some sort of workout lol

Hi everyone, my name is John and I live in maryland. I'm 39 years old and really got a interest in martial arts after my son started taekwondo. Due to long commute hours it's almost impossible to attend any local places so i started taking classes with GMAU in shotokan karate. I started it to help me get in better shape and because I really like the discipline of martial arts. I was wondering if anyone else has takes karate lessons at home and if so from where and what was your honest opinion ? . Thank you for having me here. John
