oscar Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I am 47, not in bad shape, but feeling the need to do more to keep it that way as the years add up. New to MA, new to this forum. I have started training with a local Karate school here in Bethlehem, PA. Sensei is teaching a style which combines traditional with non traditional to emphasize self defense. Self defense is a good skill to have for me, as I am an airline pilot, and frequently find myself in parts of the world where the rule of law is somewhat lacking. And, it's a great workout. We have started Kata, and my first question is, whether there is a good on-line source to help study and practice Kata at home.....? Thank you, Oscar.

pineapple Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 HI Oscar! Because katas often vary from school to school, you should ask your Sensei for a source of instructional material that matches his way so your home study will not conflict with how your Sensei is teaching it.

oscar Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks. The school has a DVD, which they are currently out of. I will wait for it then. Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krzychicano Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi and welcome to KF. My instructor was also a pilot for many years. I believe he started flying in the marines and then flew for a commercial airline. Great to have you here enjoy!
