CredoTe Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 In my area it's taekwondo (ATA) that's the most prevalent McDojos, followed immediately by sport/tournament karate masquerading as "Shorin Ryu" karate. Remember the Tii!In Life and Death, there is no tap-out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 In our area it's BJJ clubs that teach no-style karate to kids. They have bought the Gracie franchise and want a quick return. I can't say who's behind them, but they are well known Americans. They run the business as a satellite here in the UK. I know it's a free market, but I hope people realize that there are alternatives. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 In the UK, GKR are the biggest single 'style', though I use the term loosely. Sadly this has caused alot of off shots and copycats. Plus , as Harkon77 says, there's alot of generic kids karate at the 'we do it all' martial arts clubs that are now every where. If you believe in an ideal. You don't own it ; it owns you.
