Don't forget to let us know how you get on. :asian:Thanks for all the insight everyone! I love this forum :inlove: I like how helpful you all are in dealing with my newb self
I think I'm going to try out the BJJ as it is very close and I like the training times as well. I may see if he has a military discount or something too.
Thanks,

Before l joined the Army as a Combat Medic l looked around the Dallas and Denton area in Texas. After an exhaustive search l founded Mr. MICKY FISHER & SHIN TOSHI KARATE to be one of the BEST.Bar none! Even though I was afraid to get hurt l accepted that it was a contract sport. You are gonna get hit and it's gonna hurt. Yet l knew to be the best you have to learn from the best...and Mr. Fisher was the best! After studying Shin Toshi karate for several months before going into the military l learned that l made the best decision of choices in martial arts schools. I went around the whole Dallas and Denton schools including Arlington. I went into the military as a Combat Medic and earned my way up into the elite Special Forces. In these military units almost all the soldiers are Black Belts in one style or another. So we trained and mixed our styles however Shin Toshi and Kenpo karate always sermed to best the other styles for the simple reason...we took from every style and used it. Shin Toshi karate was known as the " BASTARD" karate because it did NOT stick to any style. All styles has a strong and a weakness. I helped train 2 young boys before retiring from teaching. Those 2 boys became State and International Fighting Champions! Not just for one year but for several. To this day...they are still champions. Well known and respected in the Austin area. So all this negative information about Shin Toshi karate is just people talking and blowing smoke up your ***. Try it and see for yourself. Don't let others talk or scare you away from any style because any style is better than none.
Good advice without trashing like the others.If you follow the link in the website you posted to their mainpage (covering all their schools not just the one you are interested in)
Here it is for ease of use: Karate Shin-Toshi: UKI Schools (not sure if it will work though)
Under classes and then enrollment they have a printable coupon for beginners to try out a free trial class. So like everyone else has said before me, go and give it a go and make your mind up, at least it won't cost you anything.
Hope that helps
Given the last post in this thread was over 6 years ago, I'm not sure how many of the posters will still be active for you to argue with.
My hope was to educate and inform. Not argue over this. Anyone should go and look for themselves and not take their word for it.

The "white belt" is your rank on MartialTalk. It has nothing to do with martial skill, and everything to do with the number of posts you've made here. It's entirely meaningless, except to those of us who seem to have no life, and manage to reach the dizzying heights of MartialTalk Senior Grandmaster. Then all must bow before us. (Unfortunately, "all" doesn't seem to know that bit of etiquette. How rude.)
Yes, and it was foolish for him to do, too.
