Wheezy

Hard to find a school in? and can you give me the link to the website? thanks

Damn.. Ralph Gracie is amazing.. I dunno how some one can handle such a beating.. Btw what can I do that just retains in Karate/TKD ? I realized that I'm not really in a violent area so I guess self defense isnt the #1 fitness, I just want something that will keep me fit (Strong, Flexible) and mentally disciplined and something I can use as a sport and selfdefense if needed. Something that retains in the styles of TKD and Karate.. *I have a interest in Japanese/Korean culture.. heh..* Thanks for the replies guys

Yeah but wont they kill you so you dont report them? lol

Ok thanks guy, to open up more options I live in Albany/berkely Area of California.. I know one TKD school where my friend goes to, but its really suspicous... They have a 1yr contract which you can cancel at any time, belt fees, and 120$ per month or so... So Lemm look in the yellowpages.. West Wind Karate School = Ultimate McDojo from reviews*They dont tell you which style they teach* Academy of Martial Arts = Wing Tsun Kung Fu Kuk Sool Won Raph Gacie JJ Wen Wu School of Martial Arts = Tai Chi Chuan, Shaolin Kung Fu *Internal Version?* Aikido Cardio Kickboxing Tae Kwon Do *Alotta ALOTTA schools* Capoeira Kojosho Karate Oakland Karate= Shaolin Kempo Karate, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts *what ever the hell that is*, Another Cardio Kick boxing Shorin-Ryu Karate TG Taekwondo = Taekwondo Choy Li Fut Iaido Traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate Okinawa-te Budokan Isshinryu Karate Cuong Nhu Karate Seido Karate TaekwonDo-Karate?!?! wtf? Bunch of other crap that doesnt have a website/Too many to list.. and I bet atleast 1 or 2 is a Mcdojo oh btw does any one know what Keishinkan karate-do is? thanks

Hmm I haven't considered Judo, but I dont think there are any Judo school close to my area, and whats the difference between Shotokan and GoJu ? and other styles? thanksz

Welcome

Hey I'm thinking about starting Martial Arts again and I have 2 choices. 1) Tae Kwon Do *TDK* and 2) Karate I'm wondering which style would give me discipline and something I can use as a sport/fitness thing and also something I can use for self defense thing to protect my friends and myself. Im kinda leaning to TKD because their school is closer to me but I also really wanna stress on the style, and if karate which style of karate? *Shotokan, Gojo-Ryu.. etc* I'm not looking for the best everything killer style just a style that would fit my interest or what I'm looking for. Thanks

11. Goes out to walmart buys a blackbelt for 6$$, go to school and do totally fake karate moves. 12. *Signs up for kung fu* *goes up to the sensei in the begining of the class* "When do I start learning spinning kicks that lets me hang in the air for minutes?" 13. Doing the crane stance as a joke. 14. "Show me your death moves." 15. *Wearing a blackbelt /gi* "WOAH!!! Where do you buy that?!?!" (I never had any of these said to me except for #13 which really isnt a saying...)

Hey, I thought I should introduce myself. I found this site from another forum. I'm 13 years old *with the maturity of 20 lol* and I came here to get information on MA tips and advice etc. I hold a yellow belt in Kojosho Karate but I quit for a long time (I was only like 11 or 12 ) so I picked up interest in martial art after I saw couple movies by Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Shin Koyamada etc etc a year later after I quit. So here I am browsing bunch of martial art forums for advice on which martial art should I go through and tips about getting in shape and such.. so HI!

Hey I'm new here so I'm sorry if this topic has been made before. I heard about a style of karate called Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do, is this a style or a school? Or a sub style that belongs to something like Shotokan? I really would like some information on this style if any body knows. Thanks!
