Death of an art... - 11/21/01 11:50 PM
Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum and my first post happens to be a question. Is there any way for someone who does not know a certain style to tell if that style is being taught accuratly?
In the town I am living in there is Olympic Tae Kwon Do and Shotokan Karate, neither of which I am overly enthusiastic about. ZThese being my only choices I want to join one or the other.
I would much prefer a traditional style over anything modern, so I am leaning towards Shotokan Karate, but I want to make sure that they are teaching it inaccuratly or that they arent teaching something completely differant. So basically I would like to know how to tell if its the real deal or a load of cow... I dont need to finish the sentance. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/IMG]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(The subject doesnt have much to do with the actual topic, but I thought it might get more attention then asking for help. [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG] )
