It looks like Enshin Karate is available in Detroit, which is fantastic.

thanks I will look into it. Domo

I hope you find some interest in it. Enshin is essentially a full contact karate style with sweeps and throws, focusing on sabaki. I know many people who would jump at the chance to attend a class.

I like it, it looks good. It seems reminiscent of my Sanda days, haha. I will probably look into it now and try to compete more at a sparring level before I end up going down that way.

No need to do that. You'll be a beginner in there just like everyone else. They're not going to throw you in a meat grinder, they're going to work with you on your own level. You'll no doubt progress quickly due to your previous training, but I wouldn't worry about you facing down the instructors or best students one-on-one right off the bat.

True, True. But I like to study up on similar things. If their mostly sparring and self defense orientated it would be good to be in better shape for their kind of stuff..or would it be better if I came completely un aware of their style?

[Kuma]

Go unaware. I'm sure they won't be crushing you physically at first.

As long as they give me a month to get up to par I should be all right then. Thanks...

At first...haha...whuh... haha.
