panginoon Posted April 6, 2003 Author Posted April 6, 2003 Mark me down for goju ........................................ Heck yeah. Unfortunley, I do not hink it is a very big style in the US. how do you like Goju? I think it is a good style, because it is one of the few styles in the US to include conditioning.

hobz Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Personally i started in GoJu cause it was what was available. But now i love it because I enjoy my classes, i enjoy the low stances, the katas, the ideas, the encorperation of both the hard style, and the soft calm style that it brings to karate.... meh did that make sense? Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
panginoon Posted April 7, 2003 Author Posted April 7, 2003 hey! i do kyokushin karate .............................................. Heck yeah, another good Karate style.

ramymensa Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 SHOTOKAN here. For me it's the best Goju, wado and so on ... related to my style, so I consider them OK too. Destiny put me into Shotokan. I could have been one of those as well. Count me to some Judo, too. Love it. World Shotokan Karate
