ive been doing shotokan karate for almost two years now, im 2nd purple belt right now. im training at tsunami karate in perkasie and my sensei is 3rd dan bruce costa. ive gotta say that this was the best decision ive ever made in my life, its gotten me into better shape then i ever was before, more flexible, and ive met tons of awesome people there. i would definately suggest everyone to atleast give it a try. if your looking for a dojo nearby you make sure that they are more of a traditional dojo that focuses on basics and doing things the way that the founder of the art intended it to be done, you’ll get a much richer experience.
