The To-Shin Do Experience

[Satt]

Hello everyone. I am just wanting to hear from fellow To-Shin Do practitioners to hear how your experience has been so far. I appreciate any serious comments from fellow To-Shin Do practitioners, but please don't use this as an opportunity to "bash" it. I have seen enough of that on this website. Thanks. I am currently working on the "Earth" element in the study at home courses and I am really loving it!!! I look forward to your positive comments.

Satt,

Good to see you here. Welcome to Martialtalk. Where do you train?

 

[Satt]

I train at home for now. I am gonna try to take trips every once in a while to Ohio at the Hombu dojo and get some one on one training, but there is no dojo close to where I live you know. I live in Honolulu right now, but I am moving to Tennessee in about 6 months so I will be closer to the Ohio and N.C. dojos. It is good to actually meet someone else into the same stuff for once. God bless.

Hey Satt,

I have just purchased the 12 DVD home study programme. First DVD was Kihon basics. Loved it reminded me of my first Budo Taijutsu instructor. I am very impressed with An Shu Hayes and his wife, so much so I am interested in opening a Toshindo school. My previous experience is in Kenpo/Muay Thai/Japanese Karate but am heavily into TSD now.

Good to talk to everyone

Hey Limeydog!!! Nice to see you here!!! I am also thinking of opening up a dojo in my hometown in Tennessee one day when I am good enough. Steven K. Hayes has REALLY inspired me!!! I pray you are also blessed in your endevors. Where are you wanting to open up a dojo??? I used to take Al Tracy Kempo and some Shootfighting a few years ago, but To-Shin Do is just the right one for me you know. Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you.

Hi Satt,

I am thinking of opening a Toshindo school (If all goes well, and can get permission from An Shu Hayes) in Los Angeles (Burbank) aswell as change the curricullum of the Kenpo Karate schools I have in England.

Regards
Patrick

How can you "study at home"? By video tape?

Go to www.skhquest.com and read about it. It will tell you all about Steven K. Hayes and his programs. I am in a hurry right at this moment so I can't talk too much about it. If you were trying to argue about it for some reason though, I am the wrong guy. I don't argue here. If just curious though, feel free to check out the site. It explains it all better than I can. Have a great day!!!

The way you gave your opinion could've been taken as offensive. Perhaps you could more adequately state your opinions.

BTW, is this you Sojobow? I knew you couldn't stay away! Welcome back buddy!%-}

Not really.

Here is what I asked:

How can you "study at home"? By video tape? (notice the question asking for clarification...)

He mentioned he studied at home.....so that leaves very few options.
1) His teacher makes house calls
2) He has trained long enough and trains by himself at home
3) By video or book

Thanks for the negative "ding" by the way:

You actually expect us to believe that? gmunoz


At least you had the stones to sign it. I can respect that.

Just wondering since you train at home who do you train with there? I mean is there anybody that you work out with? If so, are they a beginner as well?
It just seems a little hard to practice a combative art if there is nobody to "combat" against.......
Also, why don't you go to one of the ninja schools in your area, or aren't there any?
