I really enjoyed today's class of Shukokai karate, and I didn't expect to. I was impressed by how friendly they were, how they welcomed me not as a beginner but as someone with experience, and how they were willing to tailor the class to very different wants and needs. The class had a bit more exercise then I like in your average martial arts class but other than that, there was a lot of the training I want and need and lots of friendly people with no strict rules. I think I'm in love. Will definately going back, though I think I'll still check out Aikido and Kendo tomorrow on the off chance they'll be better (which hopefully they won't be since I'm quite content with what I've found). Only trouble is I need to go buy a blackbelt now. It's either that or have it shipped here from NJ, which seems kinda silly. Only don't know where the martial arts/sports stores are in Edinburgh:( Gotta find one soon though. Anybody have an idea?
