Osu!!!
I have been looking for a "good" kyokushin school in my area for some time, and have come up empty and disappointed on many an occasion. It has been a good 7 years since I attended a class, but before then it was 4-6 times a week, 3 hr sessions, for almost 2.5 years. Due to military transferes and my career field as Field Service Engineer, I have been unable to stay in one spot long enough to find a school or commit to any structured training program.
Now that I have settled down, got a family going, and a stable (non-travel) job, I want to get back into my training. I have been looking around and checking out various schools that claim to teach Kyokushin or at least a traditional style with comparable training practices. I have been sorely disappointed by the amount of commercialism and "Tag-tournament" schools I am finding.
Does anyone know of a "good" traditional school in Massachusetts that is within driving distance of the Hudson/Marlborough area?
Someone has recently started teaching at the gym I attend and the class is listed as Kyokushin for 1.5 hrs twice a week. I am going to check out the class tonight and can supplement additional training time on my own to return to the training session level I was used to. I am very hopeful that this class will be legitimate.
I would appreciate any suggestions on an approriate school that still has the training and passing on of Mas Oyama's teachings in mind over the commercialized schools I am plagued with finding.
On a lighter note!!! It is a pleasure to meet you all and I am happy to have found a forum so full of information on Kyokushin. Since I left my class in Arizona, I have really felt a part of me is missing all these years. I know what is missing and now that I am at point in life to have it back ... I am willing to work to get it. Thanks in advance for the help!!!
Respectfully,
Jason
