Went to Kyokushin class this morning. It was 9:30-11 am. They usually have 8-11:00 am but they said they stopped for a little while, they might bring that back. ANYWHO - it was good. Reallllly personal. There was the sensei (4th degree black belt) his daughter (something black belt) and this brown belt student, about 3 white belts..and then me. The higher level students help you at certain times so it's good. Turns out the other Kyokushin place near me (this one on Danforth), the sensei there is the STUDENT of the sensei of the place I went to. The Danforth guy was expelled from Kyokushin by the sensei of the place I went to (can't remember why..he did something). The sensei I was with told me that this Danforth guy was a terrible fighter (lmao) and tried to steal his students when starting his own dojo. When he was expelled he branched off and started up his own thing. The 4th dan sensei said you learn bo staff at about green belt (earlier if you go to summer camp) and other weapons they will only teach you if they are suited for you. There's 6 weapons in total. He also doesn't give out belts unless he thinks you deserve it, the place is traditional - not commercialized like most dojos/gyms nowadays. Anyways, I really like it there - very friendly/personal, etc. I'm definately signing up next class (Wednesday) - looking forward
