Need some help

[tekki]

I feel your pain. I've been in a similar situation, only worse. Instead of wanting to start a new style that wasn't available nearby, I found myself having to move to a place where the style I had been training in was not available. My suggestion is to ask yourself what you like best about the style you are interested in. Then look at schools that teach types of martial art that have those qualities. For example, if it's the joint manipulation techniques you want to practice, see if you can find an aikido class nearby. If it's the kicking techniques, maybe there's a TKD dojang where you would be reasonably happy. At any rate, I would suggest shopping around and seeing what you like among what you can get to on a regular basis. As a beginner, it's hard to progress and to truly fall in love with whatever you do if you can't make class at least a few times per week.
