I don't know where everyone is based, I'm assuming a mixture but I'm from Canada and studied Chito-Ryu for about 11 starting when I was 6....I am now 23 and have studied off and on since a nasty knee injury in a competition. I just spent about 6mths in England studying Goju-Ryu which had it's obvious differences but was quite similar. I now live on the german/switzerland border and am really itching to get started again but not really sure what to go for....any hints? I don't really want to get into shotokan or tkd and am not all that familiar with other styles. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Coralee
