wagnerk Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 @Kwon_Artist, I currently study Technology Management (Post-Grad). Just completed my PGCert, thinking about my PGDip/Masters. But it's all about time and finances... I've been studying with them for 3 years now (1 module/course a year). Done the U810, T848 and the M889. If I do decide to continue then my next module will be the M815 What module(s) have you done/doing?-Ken Tang Soo Do: 3rd Dan '18Shotokan Karate: 2nd Dan '04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwon_Artist Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks again for the welcome guys! I was thinking about taking up Karate but I think I will take it up later when I get alot better at my current MA I'm doing.@Wagnerk: Oh that sounds pretty awesome, good luck on it! You've only got 3 more years left then?Last year I had done an access module which was Science, Technology and Maths and this year is the first year I'm doing Networking in computing and IT (Undergrad), although I may have made a mistake and gone for Astronomy and Physics in Science instead, but oh well, just have to work hard in this subject and try get something out of it Edit: I was wondering what peoples opinions were of what Karate style they would recommend me if I took up Karate? I it would probably depend on who my instructor is and what my style is, but I want to ask the question anyway since I was thinking about taking it up.

Kwon_Artist Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Welcome aboard, Kwon_Artist. Which styles of karate do you have near you?Thank you for the welcome patrick! Well I have decided to take a look at this Shotokan school as it's cheap and fit in with my other Martial Arts very nicely and is about 10 minutes away.It will cost me £4 per session, first lesson is free and the Gi will be £25 but won't have to get it straight away and it's £25 to register with the JKA which I'll have to pay that after a month of training if I do decide to take it up!There was a Goju-Ryu club about 20 minutes from me but it would get in the way of my other martial arts training.I originally wanted to do Kyokushin but the nearest Dojo from me is around 2 hours away.

sensei8 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sounds great and very doable from every aspect. You'll enjoy Shotokan, even though it'll test your mettle and soundness, and that's a good thing!! Please keep us updated!!Enjoy the journey!! **Proof is on the floor!!!

Kwon_Artist Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thank you for the welcome guys.I had my first Karate class but i have decided i will try to find another style as Shotokan is way to similar to ITF Taekwon-Do!I was thinking of trying a Goju-Ryu Dojo.Edit: I will be doing a Goju-Ryu Karate lesson on tuesday, even though it's about 40 minutes away but I really want to do it and it's only £20 per month, so it's not really all that expensive.Also, I did my first Judo lesson on wednesday, it was amazing and I will definitely do it again!
