23 years ago, I started training in Shorin-ryu style, & my Sensei had demons he couldn’t deal with – he drank to point that I worried about the younger kids in class getting hurt – and so the dojo was closed in 2003.
Lately I’ve gotten back into stretching & running the few drills I remember, well, those that one person can do. I’m relegated for now to picking up things on YouTube from The Karate Nerd. Recently I’ve gotten interested in Uechi-ryu as well.
So… if I ever get the chance to come study in Okinawa – a dream of mine since the dojo closed – what dojos would locals recommend?
