Khan Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Those are pretty good credentials, but for an introduction lesson you have to pay $15.00? Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJJShotoshe Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 yeah, true shotokan karate is good for all aspects of the human realm. i have been in shotokan karate for two years and i train about four times a week. we do a lot with defense, but the problem is, is that it is only standning and not on the ground which is a bummer because eighty percent of fights goes to the ground. shodan - ShotokanBlue Belt - Jiu-JitsuWhoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care the themself without that law is both. For wounded man shall say to his assailant, if I live I will kill you, If I die you are forgiven-- such is the rule of Honor.

KarateHamster Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hello Dr. Flem, I started training traditional Shotokan about two months ago and I think it's one of the most important decisions of my life. I'm very happy with my sensei and the people I train with are great. 9th Kyu exam is coming up in February next year. Keep your fingers crossed I'm also interested in kobudo but I want to wait a couple of years so I have the time to mature in karate. Anyway, I'd say go for it and don't be afraid Cheers SainT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pers Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 DR.Flem ,if you live in Australia there is a very good shotokan instructer by the name of ... I think "kwak" of german origin ,I read about him in a mag ,I followed the link to check the sensie you mentioned but it is not really possible to make a judgement .You see I have had this experience of spending 2 years at a club where I thought at the time that I was getting new grades easily so I felt good only to find out that at the new club where I joined I am not even good enough to wear the white belt around my waist ! so at Brown belt level, I started to do basic class all over again for the next 5 years together with the advance class which followed the basic class to grade for shodan. What made it harder was I first had to forget the way I had learned to do things and then learn to do it correctly ! so it is important to make sure you are in the right place. never give up !
