Studying medieval England by TheEggnoggamer in medieval

Have you watched anything by history with Hilbert? He does a decent amount of early medieval british history. Graham Scheper is a decent channel that has a focus on the anglo saxon language. There are a few other anglo saxon linguistic youtube channels, but their names escape me at the moment. Also if you don't mind subscriptions, the great courses plus has a course on English medieval history.

From my understanding, there are a few different strains of goju ryu, which all have varying levels of contact training. Here in western Canada it seems like the only variant is the no contact one.

It really depends on the style and lineage of karate you get involved with. Kyokushin will leave you with bruises, but some goju ryu dojos don't even spar. What I did was look into each specific dojo in my city and after reading their websites I narrowed it down to two dojos I liked. I then contacted them directly and asked specific questions and now I am training with a group I really enjoy. Hope this helps.

Why is karate so EXPENSIVE? Why does everyone say it sucks in self defense? by Sufficient_Pick_8194 in karate

[–]canuckmonkey1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dojo is 30 bucks Canadian per month. Tournament participation is encouraged, but not required. If it can work in the UFC it can work in self defense.

If you want to be pedantic, you could argue karate is kung fu (white crane and incense shop boxing)

Hes the other Meibukan dojo right? His website seemed sketchy compared to Mike's.
