I am moving to Pullman, WA in a couple months and am planning to join the Kyokushin dojo there. I am very excited to train in something so completely different, and to test myself in a live, competitive sparring setting.

So excited, in fact, that I am sitting here at my computer reading about it rather than working, since I can't start training until I move.
Welcome to K4L TRK, hope you like it here. Oh by the way, only the "closed minded" folks would poke fun at that which they have no idea about. Glad you have decided to try something different.Hope you can start training kyokushin as soon as possible and have scraps like the rest of us. Good luck man.Osu
