Hello,
I'm fairly new to this community.
I made an account primarily to find reviews on school/instructors in/around Toronto, Canada.
A bit about my background;
The main martial art that i've practiced throughout my 30.5 years of living is Shotokan Karate.
I started when I was 15 (for the traditional reason of "defending ones self against bullies").
That ideology eventually morphed into a hybrid of "understanding ones self" and "understanding/appreciating culture".
___
I've spent some time dabbling in other martial arts (never dedicated any "serious" time as I did with Karate).
I tried my hand (and body
) at, Boxing, BJJ, a Judo class here or there, and Systema (that Russian art).
I like boxing quite a lot as it feels "natural" and there's quite a bit of power from the style of punch/twist of body.... (not saying there no power from other arts' punches).
(I once was curious in joining a Hapkido school and the owner of that school demonstrated to me how a shotokan karate punch has no power in relation to a Hapkido style punch....) - I just found it odd he was trying to convince me...it was a bizzare experience, almost "sales" like.
Anyways, that's me.
Thank you for reading and allowing me to join this community.
