This is a massive long shot I know, given the geographic spread of our members but I'm looking for a reliable training partner/partners to pursue my current interest in karate/bunkai jutsu. Without wishing to be sexist/ageist or grade-ist I am ideally looking for males above the age of 21 and anywhere above the grade of 3rd kyu, (and at the risk of being size-ist as well I am 6' 3" and 17st ) I am sure there are many capable female karate-ka out there (probably more so that myself ) but the type of training I am looking to follow is very "up close" and very "personal" and to be honest whilst I have been dubbed a "sound geezer" by females of my acquaintance in the past nobody on this forum really knows me from Adam and as this will be private training potentially alone with me I just feel it's less complicated all round. I do have a group of 3-4 seniors with similar interests and we get together on the last Tuesday of the month to swap ideas and practice (and anybody who wants to can join that session regardless of grade or gender) but that leaves me with typically another 3-4 Tuesdays a month available and no one to play with You need to be local to South West Herts (Watford area)and available Tuesdays 8:00 - 9:30pm If anybody is interested and wants more details then please feel free to P.M. me with anything.

I would always be interested Bob, just a little too far...
...and anyway I am often mistaken for a girl.

I have a little group of guys (typically 3 of us, me a 5th dan shotokan with training in goju, wado and bjj, a shotokan 4th dan and a shotokan 2nd dan that has 1st dan in judo) That meet in Milton Keynes every Wednesday morning at 10am We are all either self employed of pro karate instructors so can fiddle with times a bit to accommodate you if you wanted to pop along. We usually do either bag work drills or go over kata bunkai but I'd be keen to add more sessions a week so we get both training sessions in. Send me a pm if you want to pop along (offer is open to all by the way) PM me more details of your session too please if guests are welcome.

Hi Gaz, Thanks for the offer but I'm not able to make Wednesday mornings (the constant intrusion of having to work for a living ) Have PM'd more about Tuesdays
