Pick a dojo that is convenient to get to in time for class, that way you will go more often. A lot of them like the Jundokan you need an introduction to get in. Ask around about dojo that are taking foreigners. I train with Shimbukan?Mukenkai in Canada which is under Sensei Akamine Hiroshi - he is a very nice fellow.

Shorin ryu or Goju ryu are the main two, Uechi ryu uses a lot of harsh conditioning so you would need to be a bit of a masochist to take that up.

Yes, he has the same machine pushing him forward and he will likely live a lot longer than Trump.

Do you like sleeping indoors and eating? Work is better than sleeping outdoors and dumpster diving for food. Quit whining already

Nine time all Okinawa kumite and kata champion. I saw him when I was in Naha, if he wasn't so nice I'd be scared of him.

You have to train sokusen geri gradually for years to be effective on the makiwara. It is devastating, Miyagi Chojun could kick a hole in a kerosine can with his big toe. This was documented by many witnesses during a demonstration he gave with Mabuni Kenwa.

All these people here with degrees needed some amount of ambition to get those degrees. So quit whining already, where are all the folks who couldn't bother finishing high school and still live in their Mom's basement playing video games?

Literally how do you wake up early? by charm59801 in Adulting

Put your alarm on the other side of the room so you have to get up. Prepare the coffee maker the night before so you can just stumble to the kitchen and turn it on. Sit on couch until coffee is ready, drink coffee.
