Hello all ! This is my first post and I would just like to say great site. Everyone seems to be imformative, knowledgable and very open to helping new people. Keep it up. I have a few questions though.
I have always been interested in MA but have never been pro-active enough to pursue training.
I lived in Charleston for some time and after balking at the chance to study Aikido under Roy Suenaka I have come to the conclusion that was a mistake. I currently live in Honolulu and from what I understand there a many reputable instructors on the island and I don't want to make another mistake by not taking the opportunity.
I'm not sure what style MA would suite me and was hoping that maybe you all could offer some advice.
I'm definitely looking for something physical but not too acrobatic. I'm not so much interested in grappling and throws as I am in punches and kicking. Maybe something with a good mix of defensive and counter attacking?
I intend on making this a way of life for myself. I need some change and I'm thinking this might be it. So something very formal and traditional would not be out of the question. Even something that takes training to a spiritual level as well. And now that I think about it, the spiritual part may be one of the more important aspects.
I've done some research and thought learning Kyokushin under Bobby Lo might suite me but after some digging I'm pretty sure he's retired.
I've also been looking at Gee Yung International Martial Arts run by a gentleman by the name of Harlan Lee. From what I can tell he seems pretty legit.
Any advice you guys could offer would be wonderful. Thanks again.
