Third, KM can be learned relatively quickly, but go try each style if they are close to you and talk to the instructor and express your concerns. _________________________ 90 percent of good abs is your nutrition

Glockmeister Member Registered: 12/22/05 Posts: 255 Loc: Lancaster, Pa	There was a Shorinryu school not far from where I used to live and to say the least, in terms of self defense, I was not impressed. At the same time, maybe it was just that particular school. People may say the same thing about Krav maga from one experience at one school. I can only speak from my own personal experience. I would take Krav over Shorninryu or maybe take both.
