Shotokan-kez Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have always wanted to meet Jackie Chan, i think he's fab. But im not sure if i'm being drawn to his cheeky funny side or his Martial arts If i could pick someone to train with it would probably be Steven Seagal. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanshin Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I would just love to go to okinawa and train there in a traditional shotokan dojo. That would be great.Shotokan is a Japanese karate, not Okinawan. If it's Authentic Shotokan you are after you will need to head to mainland Japan.I have heard that the JKA headquarters in Tokyo run some pretty awesome training session there.

Wado-AJ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Bushi, the expression you are looking for is "Uchi- deshi"Thanks, Zanshin. I just couldn't think of the term. I added it to the title of the thread.So, who would it be for you, Zanshin? Would it be the name you listed?In Wado Karate:Takagi Hideho / Arakawa (Toru or Takamasa) / Hakoishi Katsumi to name but a few.In Koryu:Toby Threadgill - Shindo Yoshin Ryu (he is American btw)Shogen Okobayashi - Daito Ryu Aiki-jujutsuBut alas, I do not have 6 lifetimes to spare.ZHi there,first post here. I'm AJ.Copy your list of Wadoryu in Japan and add Mr. Takashima, Mr. Kondo and Mr. Ashihara and not to forget Mr. J. OhtsukaBut who will "give up" his regular life to go away for a year? I really can't imagine myself doing so...AJ van Dijk,Gorinchem - Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't imagine myself doing so...AJ van Dijk,Gorinchem - NetherlandsWelcome to the Forums! As to answer your question, it would be hard to give up a year of my life as well. Sooooo.....I guess it will have to be a reverse Uchi-Deshi, where instead we have the instructor live with us for a year or so! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Kuroda Tetsuzan sensei would be up for it? "The difference between the possible and impossible is one's will""saya no uchi de katsu" - Victory in the scabbbard of the sword.

BLueDevil Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'd probably go with Tommy Carruthers. He's a JKD practitioner that has amazing speed and strength, also he flows his strikes so well. Would love to learn from that guy.OrRickson Gracie, 2 reasons 1. He's one of the toughest guys+one of the most technical. Could definately learn alot from him. 2. He lives in Brazil, lots of nice looking ladies from Brazil There is no teacher but the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Since you brought up Oregon, I think that training with Loren W.
