I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and think this is a great, knowledgable, and friendly forum. I have my purple belt (soon testing for brown) with the American Society of Karate.

I've noted that there seems to be some disdain for American Karate, and I'm not really sure why. But regardless, I find it to be a great fit for me. 3 of my 4 kids (the youngest is too young) and I all train; I'm able to help with my kids' classes, and we find that our karate family is every bit as supportive and close knit as our blood family.

I look forward to getting to know the everyone here and learning!

I'm in Round Rock. I train with the Austin Society of Karate; my head instructor is 3rd degree BB Larry Jungmann (lineage - he is trained by our director, Greg Beaver, who is trained by Houston's Bill Gray). I also work a lot with Mr. Jungmann's two sons, who are both 2nd degree BBs.
 
Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome!

Honestly, Dave, I've never asked. From the bit of research I've done, though, I'd say it's a fair mix of Shotokan, EPAK, and TKD. If you'd like to take a look at our syllabus, you can go to http://www.askmartialarts.com, click on Publications, and then go to the Adult Manual.
