bbk2132 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I've trained for 9 years in Goju-Ryu. I'm 18 years old and am about to move to Denver for college and I am trying to find a Dojo. I'm looking for any high quality, traditional MA school. I don't think there are any Goju schools in Denver, at least not any affiliated with the IOGKF, so i would rather stay away from style that may conflict with the training i have had for the past nine years.Mostly i just want to find a place where i can keep my skills up in between visits home. Any info anyone has would be much apprieciated. "good enough is the enemy of excellence"Shodan Goju Ryu karate-do under Sensei Gene Villa
JohnASE Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Many colleges have karate clubs on campus. You might want to see if yours does. If not, maybe you could start one! Assuming the IOGKF allows shodans to teach on their own.Anyway, here are a few that I would recommend (in no particular order).Golden Eagle Shotokanhttp://www.goldeneagleshotokan.com/Enshin Karatehttp://honbu.enshin.com/Colorado Budokanhttp://coloradobudokan.com/Den Wa Kanhttp://www.karatedenver.com/All these dojos are run by high ranking senseis with reputable credentials. I don't know anyone's policy regarding training karateka from other dojos and styles. Before starting, I suggest you make sure this is okay with your old sensei and your new one.Good luck!
