Hi roy!

Apparently, Kyokugenryu karate is a variant of Shotokan karate . . .

Have a look at the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyokugen-ryuu_Karate)

I've been a practitioner of Jeet Kune Do for sixteen years now. (Give or take a few years of Judo).

Why did I choose that style? It's Bruce Lee's style, of course!

I'd describe myself as a dabbler in Kendo . . . There are a lot of martial artists around these boards, and it seems as though Tae Kwon Do is the most popular around here . . .

Tae Kwan Do was the first martial art I ever took (at age 6), but I was only in that class for a few months before I went over to a new school. I'm not sure why I moved, I think my parents decided something was lacking about the class. Anyway, if things were different, I might know Tae Kwan Do principally now instead of Jeet Kune Do... weird.
