I have heard a lot of good reviews but never really from someone who actually practiced it. Thanks Matt _________________________ Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect Practice makes perfect.

nelsdogg Newbie Registered: 09/23/06 Posts: 11 Loc: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia	Hey Matt I really enjoying practising Kyokushin Karate but I can't really compare it with any other MA, as I do not do any others, but I will also be taking up Wing Chun Kung Fu next year. The Dojo that I attend is VERY small with only three seniors, my sensei is 4th or 5th dan and there are two nidans. In addition, there are about 5 students including me in attendance. As such, our facilities aren't too great and we train in a rented church hall. Kyokushin isn't that hard core that you would expect it to be, probably because I am only a junior myself and we aren't allowed to participate in full-contact, for safety reasons.

Alejandro Enthusiast Registered: 05/02/02 Posts: 940 Loc: Las Cruces, NM USA	Welcome to the forums and thanks for the introduction. Three yudansha and a handful of mudansha sounds awesome to me! I've always enjoyed the smaller groups, though it is too bad that your facilities are sub-par. I trained in an ancient warehouse for years, so I understand. Best of luck to you in your training _________________________ In Budo, -Al
