Shotokan-kez Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Years ago i visited a martial arts store in Manchester, i was in awe in there i loved it. It sold equipment, clothing, books, ect. I took a trip to Manchester yesterday with my son and i couldn't find it! I did end up in one martial arts store near Picadilly gardens but that wasn't the one i meant and it was tacky and small, so this has left me feeling rather frustrated because i know there was another one.So then.....i think it was called Lee's martial arts (But not certain), and at the end of Portland Street past Picadilly. Does anybody know it? I will keep looking but it's a long trip into Manchester from where i live. I bet i just dreamt it lol....no really i did go in it!!Can anybody help? I have tried google but nothing came up! Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sorry, I've not heard of it. There's not many MA businesses in the UK that actually have "shops" nowadays - most retailers seem to just trade online now. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

Shotokan-kez Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah thats true aefibird, such a shame really because even though i don't have much choice but to buy on line i so much prefer to go into a shop and look what they have. If i had money i would open a martial arts store!! Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymac Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Too bad, sounds like a cool store, but you think you have a long trip, I would love to see that store, but I live in N.Y. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateK Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I find it impossible to find a store other than the chains that stock MA gear - completely agree, have to order everything on line grrr Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I only know of a couple of actual martial arts shops in the UK. I'm lucky, because there's one in Doncaster, near where I live. There's also one in Cleethorpes. I think that Blitz (the online retailers) also have their own store. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
