So I started to take up Goju Ryu Karate last night. The dojo is only 10 minutes from my flat and the fee is very cheap, so it couldnt be better :) After I'v praticed Karate for a few weeks, I'm also going to start praticing Nihon Jujitsu. It does not cost xtra and both Karate and Jujitsu is two days a week, so all in all I have training 4 days a week. :)

That's awesome! Good Luck! I studied Karate 20 years ago before I was diagnosed with cancer. I haven't gone back to it yet, but there is a studio near work that offers several disciplines. I've been looking into something more calming rather than combative.

Hey Irishgirl...you gotta admit, sometimes kicking someone's butt who so desperately deserves it is calming in its own way, no?

Haven't seen your reply until now.

The Sensei cancelled the class way to often, and there was never an assistant instructor to take over the class, so i decided to find another Dojo. I'm still looking and have currently found two in Copenhagen which is about 25 minutes by buss from where i live.
So now, the only decision i have to make, is if I'm going to take up Goju Ryu Karate again, or if I'm going to take up Kyokushinkai Karate. Only time will tell..

I've had a long break from Martial arts In general. I'm very good at Wing Tsun but I'm very curious at what Kyokushin karate is.. So either I'm going back to wing tsun (which i trained for atleast 5 years) or I'm starting Kyokushin karate. Only Time will tell :):cool:..

I studied kyokushin karate for quite a while. I don't have any experience in wing chun (done judo, karate, jiu jitsu and aikido), so can not compare it for you, but can tell you what kyokushn karate was like for me.

It's a pretty rudimentary type of martial arts, focused on effectiveness over gracefull techniques. It's a full contact sport and usually that is already evident in the actual training. You only get hardened through experiencing force and pain. Although this may sound unmotivating I found the experience quite the opposite. It motivated me to experience growth and development (both physical and mental) with every trainig session. I wanted too train harder and more. Off all martial arts I have practised I found it the more effective and more applicable in real fighting situations.

peace
