Yu Ki Do Homepage

That one.

I used to do:

Go Kan Ryu <-- bunch of money sucking scum bags
Go Ju Ryu <-- fairly cool club i probably should have kept going :S
Kin Bushi Ryu <-- Was ok but not really for me
Tae Kwan do Jido Kwan <-- dislocated my knee and know cant squat ****kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Hap Ki Do Moo Duk Kwan <-- I dont like weapons
Boxing <-- i should have kept it up but was too soft

I would like to pick up one more martial art id want to go for something cheap. I find belonging to 2 different clubs and styles helps a lot.

Right and Righter!

GKR have a lot to answer for with their money grabbing ways and sales pitches. Ive heard of people who "work" for their club being brought to the edge of suicide due to not being able to make a regular income for themselves and their families while their RM's (Regional Managers) use every manipulative conman pressure tactic technique in the book to keep them teaching classes and knocking on doors to make THEM rich - not the person doing the work. Mind you Karate should not be taught for the reasons of profit either.....but often people who get into GKR are a little naive in martial arts and dont know any better. Only what these so called "expert professional instructors" tell them.

Being a part of more than one style shows your willing to learn. Many train with the arrogance of "this style is best - you dont need anything else - better to master one than be a jack of all trades" Ignore this arrogance and empty your cup to fill it with as much knowledge as you can.
As much as I dont like point sparring and NAS in particular, I like that your in a non profit club (I checked out website). Hows your grappling? Does not have to be BJJ or MMA but I think you will find traditional Jiu-Jitsu and Judo will be fun and compliment your current karate training very well. Judo is usually very cheap now and is commonplace at PCYC's and YMCA gyms. If your looking for a second style maybe rounding out your repertoire will keep you motivated to continue your training.

They are actually a break away group from GKR. As long as they stay not for proftit i dont care.

Grappling doesnt exist in their style. They are basically GKR without the money thing going on. They do similar kata and and techniques. The style of teaching is different they seem to be more open minded. They also have additional techniques.

I guess you could say its GKR if you could change it to be more like what you wanted... i.e. less business more karate.

go back to boxing man, even if you cant keep up a lot of the other guys training there will have respect for you for just being there and giving it your all, and that all its about really giving it your best shot..

I do tae-bo. Its a great cardio workout with a martial arts twist. Google Billy blanks tae-bo, hes awesome.

I used to do tae bo before my tae kwan do classes. Tae kwan do was still more intense.
