Which style of karate?

[dangerous365]

Im from the UK

I am interested in starting karate (for fitness and self confidence - not interested in winning medals etc) but id like something which would toughen me up for the street.

The choice is between

Kyokushin and zen-shin-ryu.

I know about Kyokushin karate but ive dont know anything about zen-shin-ryu. Here is the website to zen-shin-ryu club...

Any advice or knowledge would be great!

As I said in your other thread, go Kyokushin. They have an excellent reputation, and the number of dubious claims made on the Zen-Shin club's Web site makes me suspicious of them.

I'd say Kyokushin . I know I like it!

I don't know anything about the other one thought...

Kyokushin has a great reputation. It's difficult, but will lead you to your goals. The Other website leads me to question the credibility of the school. Any time I see anything that says so and so was the "first to break away" ect... A red flag goes up. To me that just says, so and so wanted to be in charge so he decided to do his own thing. Don't get me wrong, it could be a good school. But Kyokushin is a sure thing.

I'm definitely biased, but I'd say Kyokushin as well.

but i think kyokushin style is good n all but i think i might perefer the zen shin do karate. I mean thats my opinion.

Its goju and ot.

her karate styles and kunfu for easier movement and being more flexible

It sounds awesome

. But as for kyokushin i'be been looking at the katas and their similar to the other heains and pinanz. I dont klnow any of the katas for zen shin.
