Meguro Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Narushima (IKO 1), and Tsukamoto (Shinkyokushin), both because they make knock-out high kicks look so effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meguro Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I hear that Kenji Yamaki is going to open a dojo in Torrance, CA.Will it be Kyokushin or something different? If Kyokushin, won't it crowd your dojo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feels Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Yamaki left IKO a long time ago. When he closed his dojo in Culver City, some of his old students came to our dojo to train afterward.

y2_sub Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 All good posts, but I was thinking of the here and now. Of course we would all like t have trained with Mas Oyama and Funakoshi for different reasons. I would also like to know what you would want to learn. I'd like to train under Kenji Midori then Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I got my wish I wanted to train with a good friend of mine who is a awsome with tech's and forms. She knows who she is (also on KF) I also got my wish to train in traditional Jujitsu (her hubby). They are both so knowledgable (sp?) about MA it's crazy LOL. They are not famous, but it doesn't matter. They know their stuff.But other than that, if I had a chance to train with any others, it would be my old instructor. Also awsome at forms/kata and techs (well I still do once in a great while). I think if I have to pick someone that is famous and still alive, I think it would be Superfoot for sparring. And Mike Reeves for breaking. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
