Who choose whom??

[Wastelander]

I chose my arts. Where I lived growing up, the only choices of martial arts were Shuri-Ryu karate, Taekwondo, and boxing. I wanted to learn an art that would let me experience more of the Japanese culture, so karate was it! From there, I picked up judo because I had been introduced to some judo techniques in my karate training and wanted to learn more. After moving to Arizona, I specifically looked for an authentic Okinawan karate style taught by a knowledgeable instructor that worked practical kata application.

How does ONE choose said MA?

How does said MA choose YOU?

I didn't choose Shindokan; I choose to learn how to defend myself, and in that, Karate was the vehicle.

Shindokan didn't choose me at first; it accepted me into its Way, and in that, it's Way has, over time, choose me.

In that, over time, it became a mutual feeling; one that can't be denied!!
