The only thing I can think of is going to the their official website.

start here. The last question might help.

There is probably some official office or person you have to contact.

I never said it wasn't dangerous.

Are you talking about TKD? Your style is supposedly Goju Ryu, and, if somebody knows better please correct me, I believe that Karate is not in the olympics yet, only TKD and Judo. Rather lame, in my opinion, that Karate is not in yet, but so it rolls.

yeah i do take go ju ryu....but i think the kicks we use are incoperated from tkd because my uncle was a black belt in TKD then switched over to Go Ju Ryu/hes my instructor by the way.. idk tho if u have to be either tkd or judo that sucks because i just want to do the point sparring. really in point sparring there is no particular style being used

yea, it would also be interesting to see jujitsu and maybe even aikido. But heck I would like to see jousting.

I and I think aikido could use the recognition.

Also, I've never watched TKD in the olympics. What competitions do they do? (Spar, kata, etc.?)

I think the first thing you should do is to enter TKD tournaments with olympic style rules.

That is a good call. Yah. From what I have heard/seen of TKD tournaments, you probably will not fare very well coming from Karate. If nothing else, the judges will be very slow to give you a point for anything aside of a kick (at least so I figures).

Good Tidings and Luck, Should You Need Them,

funny thing is my uncle/sensi also has a blackbelt in TKD as well as GoJu Ruy which i train in...so he mixes our style with tkd kicks and strongly encourages them

Just to add a thought.

I'm very glad that any style of Karate is not in the Olympics, with that kind of popularity, finding a decent dojo would be difficult.

The Olympics would add such popularity that karate already has, that alot of good training would get lost.
