yesss i really want to learn how to condition my bones so anything with that i would enjoy, as for what im trying to achieve, i kind of want to be a competitor in whichever i do, i want to be able to use whatever i learn a lot. as for whats in my area, there isnt much, i think there is taekwondo, jujitsu, shaolin do and a few others. so far im really interested in kyokushinkai and im going on a serious hunt to find a place around here where i can get into it. does anyone have any additional infor on kyokushinkai? or would like to suggest or add anything else? thanks
