hey guys i found a great karate school in denbegh,VA and i think its great. they have a big wooden training ground, plus they have a place were the parents of the students can sit down and watch as there kids train. the sensi seems very nice and soft spoken, and the kids seem to have a lot going for them to. the karate style they teach is shorin-ryu karate and you get 1 free private lesson plus seven weeks of training, and you get a free uniform and its all for $77.00. so what do ya'all think, is it good or what. thanks :D

I don't know much about shorin-ryu besides the history. I know nothing of what training is like. I think the fact that you think it's great is really good. If it's everything (or most of) what you're looking for, go for it.

 

Good luck.

Edit: P.S. Both the poll options are "yes or no." huh? :-?

Yes, I take Shorin-ryu, and I like it.

If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.


Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Well...let's see here. This coming January I will hve 29 years into just one art..and that's Shorinryu.

 

So yep...go for it...it's GREAT! :karate:

It sounds to me like an all-around good deal. I would go for it, but as always, make sure you get your money's worth out of the training.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. Ask for the credentials of the instructor, who trained him and that kind of things. To be sure he's legit.

You should go for it But I don´t get the poll...

Which Shorin-Ryu lineage does it belong to and what is the lineage of the teacher of the club? Does he belong to an Okinawan organization (and if does, who is a head of that organization)?

 

If you get good answers to those questions, go for it. I'm willing to help with the answers when you get more information.

 

There are frauds in every pack - and some that claim to teach Shorin-Ryu are not the real deal. Check the backround always.

Jussi Häkkinen is correct. Frauds abound in any martial art.
