Finally found a school

[David43515]

It took a long time but I finally tracked down the nearest Karate Dojo to our village. (I know.You`d think it`d be easy in Japan, but we`re a rural area where Judo is king.) It`s about an hour away by bus, but I think it`ll be worth it. Ever since I transffered down here from the city I haven`t had anyone to train with. It`s Ashihara ryu, so I`ll be starting over from zero (no more Isshin ryu for a while) but I don`t mind. The teacher worked overseas and speaks English too, which is a treat.

I think I`m gonna spend the weekend making a makiwara to put in the garden to celibrate.

That is great David and the change will be great. Learning different style is always fun and a blast to compare.
