Kyokushin Mexico

[amokbel]

OSU everyone,

I am Alan and I used to train under Sensei Stephen Eaton from IFK Canada... more like IFK Gauthier Quebec, under Shihan Daniel Gauthier. (Montreal, Canada)

I reached 5th Kyu (green bad) and for personal (and political) reasons, I've stopped my training.

Now, I live in Mexico City and had the luck to find Shihan Gessi's dojo and I re-started my training with him last saturday. Luckily, he accepted my belt level and I am also very much surprised that I remember my katas (after 4 years of not training). Obviously, I have to clean up my technique and get my cardio/stamina in gear, but that's ok.

I've publish on my blog some videos of tournaments I participated in when I was in Montreal. If you are interested to check it out at mokbel.ca and feel free to leave comments on the blog and visit back to see my progress.

I have some videos on VHS of other tournaments and I'm working on digitalizing them and then, I'll post them on my blog.

Now... 2 things:

1. I have a created a community for all kyokushin practitioners in Mexico and I'd like to have a link back to K4L... how do I do that?

2. I'm looking to get a good quality dogi (white or beige) with the Kanji embroided. Any clue of where I can get it? There are no store here in Mexico that do it.

Thanks everyone

Osu!

Welcome to the Forum, Amokbel! I can see that you are very involved with Kyokushin, and I think you will have a great time here.

As far as a link to the Forum goes, you could always just post the website on your community page. For more detailed tech stuff, I suggest you communicate with Kyokushin4Life directly, as he is both founder and driving force of our community.

Although I haven't bought from them yet, ChokeSports.com has developed a good reputation among our members.

Osu!

Thank you so much Dent!
I'll check out your recommendation.

Welcome and glad to see you training again!

[amokbel]

Me too! I missed the training... nothing like it.

My first class last week was 'light' as Shihan Gessi was assessing me... and yet, my legs were sore for 4 days (and I did stretch during that time).

Can't wait for this week's class. Too bad that it's only once a week (for now).

By the way... how do you get to see the color of your belt under your name?

Welcome amokbel, that belt is dependant on post count, not your actual Kyu.

Looking forward to seeing you post.

Osu.

Cool, thanks

Osu!

Yes, you currently the proud owner of a new white belt, and the best way to move up is to attend the Forum, and participate vigorously, just like any other Dojo!

With that, we come to the time when an introductory thread must close, but I look forward to your next post.

Osu!
