Goju Ryu!

You don't have styles listed by your name. But your name is "Hapkido-Kid" and you said Goju Ryu is your favorite. Care to tell us about this a little?

No!

Personally I like a little what it called So Ryu

Go Ju ryu is my favorite. It is mostly striking but with some grappling (let's say 30%), external with some internals (ki kung katas Sanchin and Tensho),

it has the right mixture of ingredients for me.

I know Shotokan because of my son doing it but I prefer GoJu.

From what I heard Goju and Shorin were for specific body types. I imagine others work better for certain body types too. Now I need to find a style that specifically adapts to and old and fat man's body...unless I can get off this computer and actually do some real exercise. Slowing down on food intake wouldn't hurt me either! :D

Yes I heard that too but I do not agree. From what I know up to now I didn't notice this, if there is somebody who is 'old and fat' as you said and want to start karate he needs to talk to the instructor and get a special training program... and in parallel start a diet! (you cannot become younger but you can become thinnier).

I have only tried Shotokan and Kyokushinkai, but I prefer the latter. Both great styles though.

but in the mastery of his passions.

shotokan is the only style i've studied properly. i don't like the way karate is taught these days though. i guess my favorite styles are the old okinawan ones where combat was still the main reason for karate. i attended a ryukyu kempo seminar once, it was brilliant.

Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana
