Hello everybody, I joined this site because I believe with such knowledgable practitioners I can recieve alot of help.

I practice kyokushin style karate. But i cannot afford professional teaching. My friend (a 2nd degree kyokushin blackbelt) has helped me quite a bit. He showed me http://en.allexperts.com/e/l/li/list_of_kyokushin_techniques.htm this site atleast grasp some of the moves. he tells me to look up a kyokushin blackbelt first demonstrating it first, and if i cannot find one he will demonstate it for me. This has been a momumental help to me.

Ive been practicing the blocks, Chudan soto uke, Chudan uchi uke, Chudan uchi uke - gedan barai, Haito uchi uke ,Jodan uke ,Mae gedan barai ,Osae uke. and i feel ive been getting alot better. we spar for a couple of hours and he tells me what im doing wrong or need to work on etc.

a big problem im having is katas. he hasnt been doing karate for a year or two and has forgotten alot of the forms. if anyone could point me into a good direction id be very grateful.

You want want to look up Local Karate commuity schools. Some of these might be run out of a school or lacal hall and can be a little less pricey. The draw back is that they may not be in the style you want to train in.

Hi Esoteric! Welcome to the forums!

I put kyokushin kata youtube into a Google search and came up with this page of links:

http://www.google.com/search?q=kyokushin+kata+youtube&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8

Perhaps you and your friend could view at least a few of them to see if it jogs his memory.

Welcome esoteric2892

I'd recommend YouTube. Loads of stuff on there.

Thank you all for such nice responses.

Ive looked around and the cheapest place around here i could find was still over 70 bucks a month. the ymca only does boxing, kickboxing around here. Im not too interested in those right now.

And my friend looked over a few of those. he says he remembers some. hes going to practice over them a little and get back to me.

ive also been asking some friends of mine if theyre doing any styles or anything. besides the black belt. i found out a friend of mine is in judo. and another is the regional champ of bjj in canada. he also takes a few other things. but i was shocked. ill definitely be asking for some help.

Welcome to KF! Good luck finding more people to work out with in something you're interested in.

Welcome esoteric2892. Glad to have you.
