It's funny but I was just this week thinking about how I might go about startinga newsgroup called net.karate! I just got into it but I think it's fascinating. Personally I just got into it because of the art involved. I wasn't really interested in learning to fight at first but now I'm glad I am. I'm studying under Master Buddy Amato. Anybody who knows anything about the Arts has heard of Amato. The style I'm learning is Kar-Do-Jitsu Ryu. It's a combination of karate, judo, ju jitsu and aikido. As a form of self defense, I don't think there is any style that compares. I also studied Judo for about 6 months about 5 years ago. I guess I was too young to appreciate it. I've decided to go back and study Judo in a few years, maybe after I get my black belt in karate. Let's hear from you deadly weapons out there! Scott Thompson (I'm using a friend's login.
