When they do decide to try doing those things, they are made to feel uncomfortable about it by men and women, alike--even those that they train with.IMO ... this is a major factor .. you nailed it.

That's too bad. I haven't experienced anything like that or seen it. Everyone is quite supportive of my karate, including my husband, and everyone I train with is great. We have quite a few excellent black belt ladies including a 3rd degree, so it seems to be a non issue in my dojo. But I could see it depending on the group.
Safroot Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 But I could see it depending on the group.That's right ... Kyokushin is bit different in terms of female practitioners and that's why I initiated this thread ... even on youtube it's very hard to find female kyokushin videos "The Martial Arts begin with a point and end in a circle."

I didn't actually know anything at all about different forms of karate until recently. I didn't look for a particular style, just for a karate school. They don't seem to advertise their style around here, so I don't know if we even have a kyokushin school in my area. I'll have to check out videos to see the differences.

Canadian77 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Had a look at the link for Kyokushin in Canada, and it doesn't look like there are any dojos in my province, which might explain why I knew nothing about it.
