Wolf Claw Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I am looking at a martial arts school in Springfield Mo. The instructor is named Binky Furstenburg he teaches Shorin-ryu karate. I cannot find any information on this instructor. I was wondering if anyone on this board knew him. All I need to know is whether he is the real deal or if his school is a Mcdojo. I appreciate it guys. It sucks that you have to be so careful when considering a school.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I am looking at a martial arts school in Springfield Mo. The instructor is named Binky Furstenburg he teaches Shorin-ryu karate. I cannot find any information on this instructor. I was wondering if anyone on this board knew him. All I need to know is whether he is the real deal or if his school is a Mcdojo. I appreciate it guys. It sucks that you have to be so careful when considering a school. There are various branches and offshoots to Shorinryu, so it would help if you could find out what particular branch he is in, and who he is affiliated with, such as an organization name he belongs to, or his instructor. The more info like that, the easier it is to nail it down. Unless of course somebody knows the guy personally. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
stl_karateka Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 There are a couple tournaments coming up in Springfield (if that is your thing) -- go and ask around...a lot of ShorinRyu competitors are at midwest tournys....if your lucky, he'll be there or some of his students and you can see for yourself, if not, somebody there should surely know him.
