Beginner from Massachusetts, looking for advice

[KempoShaun]

There is another fellow here, Mr. Shaun Siefer (I hope I'm spelling his last name right), he posts here occasionally as KempoShaun. He is a good guy, and also in the Worcester area and may be able to help you find a good school around Worcester County.

Thanks Carol, it's actually Seifer, but I'm always happy, even a year late, to help a new comer find the right school, be that private lessons with me, or finding a full fledged school. Thanks again for the mention, how have YOU been btw?

I will not give you my opinon on what style you should train in because you have a culture based style in mind now.
There are two Japanese schools in Boston that I know of. These schools are run by real Japanese Masters and they do not advertise much because they are of a true old school mindset, if you want to train with them then you will find them. A little homework and you will find their schools with ease.
I do know them and they are "good people" and tough.
Good luck.

If You are in the North Shore area I currently train at the Shodokan Dojo in Salem:

www.shodokan.org.

I'm in the Judo class, but if Japanese is your flavor, you have Shorinji -Ryu Karate-Do, Judo, Aikido, Kendo and Kyudo to choose from here and in this day and age it is very difficult to beat $60/ month.

Just to jump in a year or two late. . .

I make the drive up from Worcester to Winchendon 2-3 times a week and it's more than worth the drive. So long as there's no ice or snow storm it's even a pretty easy drive!
