I miss Karate.

[JWhiteSensei]

Cliff, being a traditional karate stylist I must say I admire your desire. I think we all yearn to get back to our roots at one time or another. Shito-Ryu has very deep Shorin-Ryu roots. If I can help you at all please feel more than free to ask.

Cliff- do you live near Amarillo?

Check this out if so

Not Shorin Ryu, but it is old school Goju. And I do mean old school.

Thanks, but I'm 670 miles from Amarillo

Ride a bicycle to class, you'll be warmed up when you get there!

But at least you wouldn't have to peddle uphill both ways- in the snow.

I'm on a hiatus myself. Trained for 5 years, got injured and then had my work clash with the dojo schedule, so I stayed off for 5 years. Started again and after half an year we left the country for a 6 month stay in NYC. We did this the next year and probably we'll do it again now. It's not pleasant to not be able to train with my mates as I used to,but on the other hand life offered me SO MUCH in these years, so I shouldn't complain. Not to mention that I know that, anytime I want to come back, my sensei is happy to see me

I'm back..again! I'm going to start back training this Thursday. I'm sure these old bones and joints will protest greatly, but I feel a deep need for some good old "dojo tattoo's"!

hope everyone is doing well?!

There might be some more retired practitioners nearby. Perhaps you could bring them out of retirement for a few practices per week.

Might not be a teacher/student environment but more like the karate version of getting the guys together for open mat, if that makes sense.

Could be really cool.
