KumitePanda Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 so theres a zen do ryu dojo down the road from me and befor i go have a look, is there anyone on here that has/does practiced zen do ryu and can tell me anything about it and what to expect? i will still go to my other dojo but i feel i need another outlet for the rest of my energy that doesn't get used. i find i'm getting frustrated with the fact i get stuct with those that don't have a clue what they're doing and yet i can tag a black belt and wind a 2nd dan (i used a sweep and nukite) would just like to know more about it before i go.much appreciated guys, thanks. ~Rhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ZenDoRyu?Gotta love Google. Looks like it's an offshoot of George Dillman's organization...so IMO, beware! If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.Student since January 1975---4th Dan, retired due to non-martial arts related injuries.

KumitePanda Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 theres a zen do kai dojo near me as well. ~Rhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinteros1963 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Its a blended style of Shotokan, Isshin Ryu, and TKD. Check it out and see if you like it. Be careful though, my experience is that in some cases an instructor may have low ranks in several styles and suddenly become 5th dans in a "new" style. But you'll never know until you check it out. The past is no more; the future is yet to come. Nothing exist except for the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what's clearly is clearly at hand...Lets continue to train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumitePanda Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 i personally thought it was rubbish. i watched the juniors and part of the seniors and the only hint of shotokan was belt ranking style. because i practise TSKF, of course i expected differences but not to this extent..and as far as it being family friendly it was far from that.also the parents would just talk and talk and talk with the juniors i very politely told them to be quiet and allow their kids to train...probably over stepping the mark since its not my dojo but parents don't stick around and watch at our dojo so if they wanna watch, do it quietly. so im now named the girl who grew balls!!! technique wise i think its more TKD than anything and no effort is made to correct errors. but this is only a dojo near me and how i saw it after being trained by JKA students ~Rhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
