If this is in the wrong part of the forum mods please move it. I just would like a better idea of what different styles there are in Karate. Currently I am going to a local dojo taught by my sensei Fumio Demura. I guess he has an impressive resume and the style taught there is Shito Ryu Genbu Kai. I been going there for only about 3 months. I like it and all but I feel whats been taught in the classes I can't really apply in the streets. I just want a more full contact style of MA where I can learn take downs to strikings. Is there any other style of karate where theres more contact or at least offer harder training? I'm also interested in Muay thai, JKD, and Budokai Jujitsu. I'd like to take Taijutsu but just a long drive to get there and very pricey. Thanks in advance for your responses.
