Hello to all. I am new to MT and just wanted to intro myself. I have studied severasl different styles with my primary being Chito-ryu karate. I have trained in EPAK, Hawaiian Kenpo, Isshin-ryu karate, Okinawan Kobudo, and I am currently learning ITF style TKD. I have below black rank in EPAK and Hawaiian Kenpo(Blue belt in both). I am a Ni-dan in Isshin-ryu, Yon-dan in Okinawan Kobudo and a Go-dan in Chito-ryu. I have only recently reached the Red belt in TKD. I like full-contact knockdown style and kata competitions. I hope to gain soem great knowledge especially in EPAK and TKD. Thanks for having such a great site.

Hi Searcher, welcome to the forum. As red belt in TKD, you are getting into the thick of it. Although i do WTF, I have learned ITF forms as well. WTF does technique differently but as you explore you may find that out as well. Enjoy! TW

Yes, I am starting to get into the thick of it with TKD. I was very fortunate to have had several years of experience under my belt. That has really helped me with the learning of new Hyungs and in other areas. I still continue to teach and train in my other styles, but have had to put a great deal of attention to my TKD training. Sometimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day.

Welcome! SOunds like you'll be able to provide some great knowledge too with a background like that. I know very little about Chito-ryu, for example--maybe you can tell us a bit about it on the Karate forum!
