Abari Isamu Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I am wanting to start taking a japanese style Karate but dont know what styles or anything to go with. If someone could give me some advice and or guidance it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Shizentai Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I think most importantly, you need to find out what credible teachers there are in your area. After all, unless you live in Japan, many styles may not be taught near you. So round about where do you live? "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro
bushido_man96 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I agree; check the listings of your area, and also ask around. See what turns up. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Abari Isamu Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks guys for the advice and for the links sensei8, I appreciate it.
Shizentai Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 If you're interested in traditional Japan Karate Association shotokan karate, there is also a dojo in your area with a good instructor it seems. The website for the West Tennessee Karate Association is down, but you can contact the director (Ben Anderson) at wtnkarate@remgaz.comThe dojo is a member of the JKA, and the JKA/AF "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro

It's very difficult to rate any school of the martial arts by viewing their website. Yes, I did look at the link, but, the website was very basic in information as well as in it's look.Therefore, and this is with any school of the martial arts; VISIT THE SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES! Then, make an informed decision. Good luck and let us know. **Proof is on the floor!!!
