BreathingHands Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I was thinking of taking up Shotokan and this place is near me. http://www.bronxshotokankarate.com/
Lupin1 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 It looks ok to me. Except that one of the instructors is claiming that Karate leads to healthier teeth and gums. That's just a little weird, in my mind...
Blade96 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 i wont pretend i have a lot of experience (me being only 4 months in shotokan) but i thought i saw a pic of a kid black belt (something my association frowns upon, giving black belts to kids) Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.
Throwdown0850 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 105 dollars a month??? That is way too high imo. I don't know if I would pay 105 dollars/month to learn from Jigoro Kano himself. You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent. -Henri Ducard
Ti Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 There was a member on here not long ago who joined with them.Not sure who that was though

That's just a little weird, in my mind...I saw that as well...that was from the jujitsu guy who is starting to share their space with them.
BreathingHands Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 There was a member on here not long ago who joined with them.Not sure who that was thoughI remember that guy. He had a flurry of posts regarding starting Shotokan, then he disappeared.
sensei8 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I've always said this...It's hard to tell anything of great value about any school of the martial arts from a website. Therefore, VISIT THE SCHOOL MANY, MANY TIMES!!!!!! Then come to an educated decision.Now, I'll say this although. This school is affiliated with Kanazawa Sensei and with his SKIF...that speaks in volumes by itself...still...visit the school over and over to see if it's in concert with Kanazawa Sensei and with what it is that you're searching for in a Shotokan/Martial Arts school/instructor.Good luck! **Proof is on the floor!!!
BreathingHands Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 good advice. I'll check it out soon.
