I study Isshinryu as u can tell by my name.

http://w3.trib.com/~smammon/isshin.html You should look at this site! It shows a lot of the basic moves and terms, stuff like that.

The reason my friend doesn't want to go to a dojo is because he wants to learn kung fu or any kind of chinese art. We live in a rural area so most the place around here are little tai kwan do places. I was lucky enuff to find an Isshinryu dojo about a half hour away from where I live.

For all of you Shorin ryu, Goju ryu, Isshin ryu, or any other okinawan styles. What are your favorites moves to use while sparring?

I was an a situation similer to that back when i was shotokan. I dreaded sparring with this one boy who always beat the heck out of me but in the end i found out that it only made me a better fighter. what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger

hello everyone, I was just curious but I have a friend who has just gotten into martial arts and has bought a whole set of kung fu instructional video's. Do yall think that someone could really turn into a good martial artist this way??

thanks for the advice it was a lot of help!

Greetings Does anyone here use a makiwara board ,if so does anyone have any tips on using one.

I pay 30 dollers for my Isshinry classes and about 20 for tang soo do.

I was in shotokan for a few years and enjoyed that but later on I found Isshinryu and now that is my main style. Isshinryu is the best!!!

hello everyone I've been sparring for awhile and i can perform most of my moves the right way. My problem is that im not very good at anticipating on what my partner will do next. My reflexes and very good! Is there any thing i can do to try and get faster reflexes?

I would love to go see that tournament!!!! I live in arkansas so it's not very often that you get to see any isshinryu tournaments. Im lucky that there's actually a dojo out here!!

Hello everyone!, I'm currently a student in Isshinryu and I've been reading many posts and I havn't seen very many Isshinryu posts. Is there any other Isshinryu karateka's around. Just curious thanx!
