Best style for me?

Hey, that looks good, if I lived closer, I would join you.

Get your teeth into Goju Ryu Kata, you wont look back.

Thanks! Looking forward to this now. Monday 6:30pm!

God, I am so out of shape. What's the fitness drill like in Karate compared to kickboxing?

Ok it doesn't seem there is a Kyokushin gym around here which is a shame, however there is a Goju Ryu gym led by a guy called Ernie Molyneux which looks a good bet.

Any opinions on Goju Ryu? I hear it is similar to Kyokushin...?

Goju is a combination of hard and soft whilst kyokushin is hard.

If you want a fluid style then go for goju (im bias' because i study goju).

But having a good teacher is very important.

Gojo Ryu is a traditional style, with a good linage, you can't go wrong. It can be tough, it can be more modern, as was said, it can be good with the right instructor.

I've already decided to give tbis a try actually. This place seems cool and the cheif instructor seems pretty legit.

Every trainer I've ever had in any style has been a world champion so I'm quite keen to get with a good trainer.

Sensei Ernie Molyneux is top notch - world class from what i know.
